NAME

getrpcport( ) - get RPC port number

SYNOPSIS

u_short getrpcport(char *

host ,

rpcprog_t prognum,

rpcvers_t versnum ,

rpcprot_t 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 the RPC system failed to contact the remote portmap ser-

vice, the program associated with prognum is not registered, or there is no mapping between the program

and a port. If prognum is registered but not with version versnum , it returns the port number of the last

registered (prognum , proto ) pair.

This routine exists for backward compatibility only. Enhanced functionality is provided by

rpcb_getaddr()

(see rpcbind (3N)).

WARNINGS

User applications that call this routine must be linked with

/usr/lib/librpcsvc.a

. For example,

cc my_source.c -lrpcsvc
