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 service,

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
