GETRPCPORT(3) |
NAME
getrpcport —
get RPC port number
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
int
getrpcport(
char *host,
int prognum,
int versnum,
int proto);
DESCRIPTION
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.
