Bug description: getservicebyport() and getservicebyname()
There already are gethostbyaddr() and gethostbyname() ... But where are the functions mentioned in
the subject. Do I have to parse /etc/services to do that..?
How about:
SYNOPSIS
mixed getservicebyname(string name)
string getservicebyport(int port)
DESCRIPTION
getservicebyname("ftp") would return "21"
getservicebyport(80) would return "www"
Of course, when local /etc/services file has a mapping for it, otherwise it should return values
like e.g. gethostbyaddr(..)
getservicebyport(123456) would return "123456", when not defined in /etc/services
just my two cents
