GETRPCPORT(3R)      RISC/os Reference Manual       GETRPCPORT(3R)



NAME
     getrpcport - get RPC port number

SYNOPSIS
     For -systype sysv and -systype bsd43:

     int getrpcport(host, prognum, versnum, proto)
     char *host;
     int prognum, versnum, proto;

DESCRIPTION
     getrpcport() returns the port number for version versnum of
     the RPC program prognum running on host and using protocol
     proto.  It returns 0 if it cannot contact the portmapper, or
     if prognum is not registered.  If prognum is registered but
     not with version versnum, it will still return a port number
     (for some version of the program) indicating that the pro-
     gram is indeed registered.  The version mismatch will be
     detected upon the first call to the service.

ORIGIN
     Sun Microsystems Inc.

NOTE
     When these routines are used in a program which is compiled
     in -systype sysv, they are not resolved by libc.a.  See
     intro(3-SysV) for more information.
