NAME
getrpcport —
get RPC port number
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include
<rpc/rpc.h>
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.
