DESCRIPTION
The rpcinfo command reports the status of a Remote Procedure Call sent to an
RPC sever. The host parameter specifies the Remote Procedure Call server. The
program parameter specifies the program used by the remote procedure. It can
be name or a number. The version number of the program used by the remote
procedure is specified by version. If you do not specify a version number,
rpcinfo searches for all registered version numbers and calls each one.
Note: The rpcinfo command uses version 0 to search for all registered
versions, since 0 is not usually assigned as a program's version number.
If version 0 is assigned to a program's version number, rpcinfo uses a
high level number in its place.
FLAGS
-p Queries the host port map service and displays a list of registered RPC
programs. If host is not specified, the value returned by hostname is
the default value.
-t Uses the TCP/IP data transport to make a Remote Procedure Call to
procedure 0 of the program on the specified host and report if a
response was received.
-u Use the progname UDP/IP data transport to make a Remote Procedure Call
to procedure 0 of the program on the specified host and report if a
response was received.
