GETRPCPORT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GETRPCPORT(3)

NAME

     getrpcport - get RPC port number

SYNOPSIS

     #include <rpc/rpc.h>

     int getrpcport(const char *host, unsigned long prognum,
                    unsigned long versnum, unsigned 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  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.
