stay_open
Specifies a value used to indicate when to close the networks
database file (TCPIP$SYSTEM:NETWORKS.DAT):
o A value of 0 closes the networks database file after each call
to the getnetent() function.
o A nonzero value keeps the networks database file open after
each call.
2 – Description
This function opens the networks database file and resets the
file marker to the beginning of the file.
Passing a nonzero stay_open argument keeps the connection open
until you call the endnetent() or exit() function.
