GETRPCPORT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual GETRPCPORT(3)NAMEgetrpcport — get RPC port number
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
int
getrpcport(char *host, int prognum, int versnum, int proto);
DESCRIPTIONgetrpcport() returns the port number for version versnum of the RPC pro‐
gram 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 pro‐
gram is indeed registered. The version mismatch will be detected upon
the first call to the service.
