- get RPC port number
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
int
getrpcport(
char *host
, int prognum
, int versnum
, int proto
)
DESCRIPTION
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.
