NAME

getrpcport – get RPC port number

CONTENTS

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS


int
getrpcport(char *host, int prognum, int versnum, int proto);

DESCRIPTION

The getrpcport() function returns the port number for version versnum of the RPC program prognum running on host and using protocol proto. It returns 0 if it cannot contact the portmapper, or if prognum is not registered. If prognum is registered but not with version versnum, it will still return a port number (for some version of the program) indicating that the program is indeed registered. The version mismatch will be detected upon the first call to the service.

“ This philosophy, in the hands of amateurs, leads to inexplicably mind-numbing botches like the existence of two programs, “head” and “tail,” which print the first part or the last part of a file, depending. Even though their operations are duals of one another, “head” and “tail” are different programs, written by different authors, and take different options! ”
