NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     getrpcport - get RPC port number

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <rpc/rpc.h>

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

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     getrpcport()  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.
