Requires Optional NFS Services Software

NAME

rpcinfo − report RPC information

SYNOPSIS

/usr/etc/rpcinfo −p [host]
/usr/etc/rpcinfo −u host program [version]
/usr/etc/rpcinfo −t host program [version]

DESCRIPTION

rpcinfo 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. 

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, if not it uses version 1.

WARNINGS

In releases prior to Sun UNIX 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.  Note that this does not apply to any HP releases of NFS.
