The definitions NFB$... used by the NETACP and routines requesting information
from NETACP are defined in SYS$LIBRARY:LIB.MLB in module $NFBDEF.

If you have the VAX C compiler installed, you should find the same definitions
in SYS$LIBRARY:VAXCDEF.TLB and in SYS$LIBRARY:NFBDEF.H if the H files were
extracted. The following is the struct I used for nfb when I worked on a user
callable subroutine a la "show network".

/*
 * These names were obtained from microfiche under the section
 * of NETACP, NETUSR definitions.
 */
        struct nfb {
                char b_fct;
                char b_flags;
                char b_database;
                char b_oper;
                long l_srch_key;
                long l_srch2_key;
                char b_oper2;
                char l_mbz1;
                short cell_size;
/*
 * Note that the following l_fldid this could be array if you wish to
 * request additional information. The array must end with a zero,
 * thus x_zero is declared. I have only one request to make.
 */
                long l_fldid;
                long x_zero;
        };

Enjoy!!
