### 3.2.65 getservbyport

    getservbyport PORT, PROTO

This function does the same thing as getservbyport(3): it translates a service (port) number to its corresponding names. `PROTO` is a protocol name such as `"tcp"`. The return value in list context is:

    ($name, $aliases, $port_number, $protocol_name)

In scalar context, getservbyport returns only the service port name.
