rpcinfo(1M)                     ONC/NFS 5.4.2                    rpcinfo(1M)


NAME
       rpcinfo - report RPC information

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/rpcinfo -p [ host ]

       /etc/rpcinfo [ -n portnum ] -u host program [ version ]

       /etc/rpcinfo [ -n portnum ] -t host program [ version ]

       /etc/rpcinfo -b program version

       /etc/rpcinfo -d program version

DESCRIPTION
       The rpcinfo command, which is located in /etc, makes an RPC call to
       an RPC server and reports what it finds.

OPTIONS
       -p     Probe the portmapper on host, and print a list of all
              registered RPC programs.  If host is not specified, it
              defaults to the value returned by hostname(1).

       -u     Make an RPC call to procedure 0 of program on the specified
              host using UDP, and report whether a response was received.

       -t     Make an RPC call to procedure 0 of program on the specified
              host using TCP, and report whether a response was received.

       -n     Use portnum as the port number for the -t and -u options
              instead of the port number given by the portmapper.

       -b     Make an RPC broadcast to procedure 0 of the specified program
              and version using UDP and report all hosts that respond.

       -d     Delete registration for the RPC service of the specified
              program and version.  This option can be exercised only by the
              super-user.

       The program argument can be either a name or a number.

       If a version is specified, rpcinfo attempts to call that version of
       the specified program.  Otherwise, rpcinfo attempts to find all the
       registered version numbers for the specified program by calling
       version 0 (which is presumed not to exist; if it does exist, rpcinfo
       attempts to obtain this information by calling an extremely high
       version number instead) and attempts to call each registered version.
       Note: the version number is required for -b and -d options.

EXAMPLES
       To show all of the RPC services registered on the local machine use:

              example% /etc/rpcinfo -p

       To show all of the RPC services registered on the machine named
       klaxon use:

              example% /etc/rpcinfo -p klaxon

       To show all machines on the local net that are running the Network
       Information Service service use:

              example% /etc/rpcinfo -b ypserv 'version' | uniq

       where 'version' is the current Network Information Service version
       obtained from the results of the -p switch above.

       To delete the registration for version 1 of the walld service use:

              example% /etc/rpcinfo -d walld 1

BUGS
       In releases prior to NFSSRC 3.0, the Network File System (NFS) did
       not register itself with the portmapper; rpcinfo cannot be used to
       make RPC calls to the NFS server on hosts running such releases.
