NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     getrpcport - get RPC port number

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     int
     getrpcport(char *host, int prognum, int versnum, int proto);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.
