Without further ado, the following was found:

Issue:    No "in succession" here on purpose?

"When no I<key> is provided, use B<sethostent>(3), B<gethostent>(3), and "
"B<endhostent>(3)  to enumerate the hosts database.  When one or more I<key> "
"arguments are provided, pass each I<key> to B<gethostbyaddr>(3)  or "
"B<gethostbyname2>(3), depending on whether a call to B<inet_pton>(3)  "
"indicates that the I<key> is an IPv6 or IPv4 address or not, and display the "
"result."

"When one I<key> is provided, pass the I<key> to B<setnetgrent>(3)  and, "
"using B<getnetgrent>(3)  display the resulting string triple (I<hostname>, "
"I<username>, I<domainname>).  Alternatively, three I<keys> may be provided, "
"which are interpreted as the I<hostname>, I<username>, and I<domainname> to "
"match to a netgroup name via B<innetgr>(3).  Enumeration is not supported on "
"B<netgroup>, so either one or three I<keys> must be provided."

"When no I<key> is provided, use B<setnetent>(3), B<getnetent>(3), and "
"B<endnetent>(3)  to enumerate the networks database.  When one or more "
"I<key> arguments are provided, pass each numeric I<key> to "
"B<getnetbyaddr>(3)  and each nonnumeric I<key> to B<getnetbyname>(3)  and "
"display the result."

"When no I<key> is provided, use B<setpwent>(3), B<getpwent>(3), and "
"B<endpwent>(3)  to enumerate the passwd database.  When one or more I<key> "
"arguments are provided, pass each numeric I<key> to B<getpwuid>(3)  and each "
"nonnumeric I<key> to B<getpwnam>(3)  and display the result."

"When no I<key> is provided, use B<setprotoent>(3), B<getprotoent>(3), and "
"B<endprotoent>(3)  to enumerate the protocols database.  When one or more "
"I<key> arguments are provided, pass each numeric I<key> to "
"B<getprotobynumber>(3)  and each nonnumeric I<key> to B<getprotobyname>(3)  "
"and display the result."

"When no I<key> is provided, use B<setrpcent>(3), B<getrpcent>(3), and "
"B<endrpcent>(3)  to enumerate the rpc database.  When one or more I<key> "
"arguments are provided, pass each numeric I<key> to B<getrpcbynumber>(3)  "
"and each nonnumeric I<key> to B<getrpcbyname>(3)  and display the result."

"When no I<key> is provided, use B<setservent>(3), B<getservent>(3), and "
"B<endservent>(3)  to enumerate the services database.  When one or more "
"I<key> arguments are provided, pass each numeric I<key> to "
"B<getservbynumber>(3)  and each nonnumeric I<key> to B<getservbyname>(3)  "
"and display the result."
