DESCRIPTION
These routines are a part of the RPC library which allows the RPC servers to register themselves with
rpcbind (see rpcbind(3N)), and associate the given program and version number with the dispatch func-
tion. When the RPC server receives a RPC request, the library invokes the dispatch routine with the
appropriate arguments.
The HP-UX implementation of RPC only supports the X/Open Transport Interface (XTI). Applications that
are written using the Transport Layer Interface (TLI) and wish to use RPC, must convert their application
to XTI.
Routines
See rpc(3N) for the definition of the SVCXPRT data structure.
bool_t rpc_reg()
Register program prognum, procedure procname, and version versnum with the RPC service package.
If a request arrives for program prognum, version versnum, and procedure procnum, procname is
called with a pointer to its parameter(s); procname should return a pointer to its
static result(s).
inproc is the XDR function used to decode the parameters while outproc is the XDR function used to
encode the results. Procedures are registered on all available transports of the class nettype. See
rpc(3N). This routine returns
0 if the registration succeeded, -1 otherwise.
int svc_reg()
Associates prognum and versnum with the service dispatch procedure, dispatch.Ifnetconf is NULL,
the service is not registered with the rpcbind service. For example, if a service has already been
registered using some other means, such as inetd (see inetd(1M)), it will not need to be registered
again. If netconf is non-zero, then a mapping of the triple [prognum, versnum, netconf→nc_netid]to
xprt→xp_ltaddr is established with the local rpcbind service.
The svc_reg() routine returns 1 if it succeeds, and 0 otherwise.
void svc_unreg()
Remove from the rpcbind service, all mappings of the triple [prognum, versnum, all-transports]to
network address and all mappings within the RPC service package of the double [prognum, versnum]
to dispatch routines.
int svc_auth_reg()
Registers the service authentication routine handler with the dispatch mechanism so that it can be
