NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     getrpcport -- get RPC port number

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

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

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.
