NAME

rpcinfo − report RPC information

SYNOPSIS

rpcinfo −p [ host ]
rpcinfo −u host program [ version ]
rpcinfo −t 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. 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.
