  NAME

    svc_run - Library function for remote procedure calls

  LIBRARY

    Berkeley Software Distribution Library (libbsd.a)

  SYNOPSIS

    void svc_run(
      void );

  DESCRIPTION

    The svc_run() function allows C programs to make procedure calls on other
    machines across the network.  First, the client calls a procedure to send
    a data packet to the server.  Upon receipt of the packet, the server calls
    a dispatch routine to perform the requested service, and then sends back a
    reply.  Finally, the procedure call returns to the client.

    The svc_run() function never returns.  It waits for RPC requests to
    arrive, and calls the appropriate service procedure using svc_getreq()
    when one arrives.  This procedure is usually waiting for a select()
    function to return.

  RETURN VALUES

    This function returns void.
