Hinweise

This getprotobynumber function returns a pointer to the protoent structure as previously described in getprotobyname. The contents of the structure correspond to the given protocol number.

The pointer that is returned points to the structure allocated by Windows Sockets. The application must never attempt to modify this structure or to free any of its components. Furthermore, only one copy of this structure is allocated per thread, so the application should copy any information that it needs before issuing any other Windows Sockets function calls.
