NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       getrpcport - get RPC port number

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <rpc/rpc.h>

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

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  getrpcport() routine returns the port number for version
 versnum of the RPC program prognam  running  on  host
       and using protocol proto.

       It  returns  0  if  it cannot contact the portmapper or if
       prognam is not registered.  If prognam is  registered  but
       not with version versnum, the routine will return the port
       number of the last registered prognam, proto pair.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       Upon successful completion, a  port  number  is  returned;
       otherwise,  0  is  returned  to  indicate  that either the
       portmapper could not be contacted or the  program  is  not
       registered.
