NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     rpc -- rpc program number data base

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     /etc/rpc

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The rpc file contains user readable names that can be used in place of
     RPC program numbers.  For each RPC program a single line should be
     present with the following information:

     1.   name of the RPC program
     2.   RPC program number
     3.   aliases

     Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters.  A
     hash (``#'') indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the
     end of the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.
