NAME
rpc - rpc program number data base
SYNOPSIS
/etc/rpc
DESCRIPTION
The rpc program number database contains user readable names
that can be used in place of RPC program numbers.
Files
/var/yp/domainname/rpc.bynumber Corresponding NIS map
containing program numbers
and names of RPCs known to
your system. Key is RPC
program number.
USAGE
Each line has the following information:
name of server for the RPC program
RPC program number
aliases
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab
characters. A # indicates the beginning of a comment;
characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by
routines which search the file.
When the Network Information Service (NIS) is in use, it
references the NIS map rpc.bynumber on the NIS server instead
of /etc/rpc.
