1724,Add getprotobyname to Socket PMCs,ocharles,nwellnhof,"I couldn't see any implementation of getprotobyname which seems like a standard function that should be available. This adds it to Socket PMCs.

I'm not entirely sure this is the correct approach - because normally you'd call this before creating a socket object. For PIR this is OK, but in something like Perl 6 this will create a Socket object to call getprotobyname, then destroy it, then probably create another one straight after.

Anyway, this is the best I could come up with given my extremely limited knowledge of Parrot - please advise!",patch,assigned,normal,,core,2.6.0,medium,,sockets,,,new,
