rpcbind(3N) rpcbind(3N)

versnum, netconf→→nc_netid] and svcaddr on the machine’s

rpcbind service. The value of nc_netid

must correspond to a network identiﬁer that is deﬁned by the netconﬁg database. This routine

returns

TRUE if it succeeds, FALSE otherwise. (See also

svc_reg() in rpc_svc_calls(3N)). If

there already exists such an entry with

rpcbind

, rpcb_set() will fail.

bool_t rpcb_unset()

An interface to the rpcbind service, which destroys the mapping between the triple [prognum,

versnum, netconf→→nc_netid] and the address on the machine’s

rpcbind service. If netconf is

NULL, rpcb_unset() destroys all mapping between the triple [prognum, versnum, all-

transports ] and the addresses on the machine’s

rpcbind service. This routine returns TRUE if it

succeeds,

FALSE otherwise. Only the owner of the service or the super-user can destroy the map-

ping. (See also svc_unreg() in rpc_svc_calls(3N)).

MULTITHREAD USAGE

Thread Safe: Yes

Cancel Safe: Yes

Fork Safe: No

Async-cancel Safe: No

Async-signal Safe: No

These functions can be called safely in a multithreaded environment. They may be cancellation points in

that they call functions that are cancel points.

In a multithreaded environment, these functions are not safe to be called by a child process after

fork()

and before exec(). These functions should not be called by a multithreaded application that support

asynchronous cancellation or asynchronous signals.
