NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       rpcinfo - report remote procedure call (RPC) information

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p  [host]

       /usr/sbin/rpcinfo  [-n  portnum]  -u   host program-number
       [version-number]

       /usr/sbin/rpcinfo [-n  portnum]  -t   host  program-number
       [version-number]

       /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -b  program-number version-number

       /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -d  program-number version-number

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Makes  an  RPC  broadcast  to procedure 0 of the specified
       program and version using UDP and report  all  hosts  that
       respond.   Deletes registration for the RPC service of the
       specified program and version. This option can be executed
       only  by  the  superuser.  Uses portnum as the port number
       for the -t and -u options instead of the port number given
       by the portmapper.  Probes the portmapper portmap(8), running
 on host, and print a list of all registered RPC  programs.
  If  host is not specified, rpcinfo defaults to the
       value returned by either  hostname(1)  or  gethostname(2).
       Makes  an  RPC call to procedure 0 of program-number using
       the user datagram protocol (UDP),  and  report  whether  a
       response  was  received.  Makes an RPC call to procedure 0
       of program-number using the transmission control  protocol
       (TCP), and report whether a response was received.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  rpcinfo  command  makes a remote procedure call (RPC)
       call to an RPC server and displays its findings  based  on
       the specified options.  The program-number argument can be
       either a name or a number.  If  a  version  is  specified,
       rpcinfo  attempts  to  call  that version of the specified
       program. Otherwise, rpcinfo attempts to find all the  registered
 version numbers for the specified program by calling
 version 0. If version 0 exists,  rpcinfo  attempts  to
       obtain  this information by calling an extremely high version
 number. The rpcinfo command  then  attempts  to  call
       each registered version.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

       To  show  all  of the RPC services registered on the local
       machine, use: # rpcinfo -p To ping the mountd service registered
  on  the  machine  named klaxon, use: # rpcinfo -u
       klaxon mountd To show all machines on  the  local  network
       that  are  running  the  ypserv  daemon, use: # rpcinfo -b
       ypserv 'version' | uniq

              where 'version' is the current NIS version obtained
              from  the  results of the -p option.  To delete the
              registration for version 1 of  the  ypbind  daemon,
              use: # rpcinfo -d walld 1
