rpcinfo(1M) —
NAME
rpcinfo − report RPC information
SYNOPSIS
rpcinfo −p [ host]
rpcinfo −u host program [ version]
rpcinfo −t host program [ version]
rpcinfo −b program version
DESCRIPTION
The rpcinfo command makes an RPC call to an RPC server and reports what it finds.
The following options are available:
−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.
−b Make an RCP broadcast to procedure 0 of the specified program and version using UDP and report all hosts that respond.
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. Note that the version number is required for the −b option.
EXAMPLES
To show all of the RCP services registered on the local machine, use:
example$ rpcinfo −p
To show all of the RCP services registered on the machine named klaxon, use:
example$ rpcinfo −p klaxon
To show all machines on the local network that are running the Network Information Service (NIS) (formerly known as the Yellow Pages) use:
example$ rpcinfo −b ypserv ’version’ | uniq
where ’version’ is the current NIS version obtained from the results of the −p switch above.

BUGS
In releases prior to SunOS 3.0, the Network File System did not register itself with the portmapper; rpcinfo cannot be used to make RPC calls to the NFS server on hosts running such releases.
