NAME
getrpcport - get RPC port number
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.
