.TH RPC 5 "Feb 25, 2017"
.SH NAME
rpc \- rpc program number data base
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fB/etc/rpc\fR
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fBrpc\fR file is a local source containing user readable names that can be
used in place of \fBRPC\fR program numbers.  The  \fBrpc\fR file can be used in
conjunction with or instead of other rpc sources, including the \fBNIS\fR maps
``rpc.byname'' and ``rpc.bynumber''.
.sp
.LP
The rpc file has one line for each \fBRPC\fR program name. The line has the
following format:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fIname-of-the-RPC-program\fR \fIRPC-program-number\fR \fIaliases\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. A
``\fB#\fR'' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of
the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.
