39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40These routines are part of the RPC
41library which allows C language programs to make procedure
42calls on other machines across the network.
43.Pp
44These routines can be called by the server side
45dispatch function if there is any error in the
46transaction with the client.
47.Sh Routines
48See
49.Xr rpc 3
50for the definition of the
51.Vt SVCXPRT
52data structure.
53.Bl -tag -width XXXXX
54.It Fn svcerr_auth
55Called by a service dispatch routine that refuses to perform
56a remote procedure call due to an authentication error.
57.It Fn svcerr_decode
58Called by a service dispatch routine that cannot successfully
59decode the remote arguments
60(see
61.Fn svc_getargs
62in
63.Xr rpc_svc_reg 3 ) .
64.It Fn svcerr_noproc
65Called by a service dispatch routine that does not implement
66the procedure number that the caller requests.
67.It Fn svcerr_noprog
68Called when the desired program is not registered with the
69RPC package.
70Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
71.It Fn svcerr_progvers
72Called when the desired version of a program is not registered with the
73RPC package.
74The
75.Fa low_vers
76argument
77is the lowest version number,
78and
79.Fa high_vers
80is the highest version number.
81Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
82.It Fn svcerr_systemerr
83Called by a service dispatch routine when it detects a system
84error not covered by any particular protocol.
85For example, if a service can no longer allocate storage,
86it may call this routine.
87.It Fn svcerr_weakauth
88Called by a service dispatch routine that refuses to perform
89a remote procedure call due to insufficient (but correct)
90authentication arguments.
91The routine calls
92.Fn svcerr_auth "xprt" "AUTH_TOOWEAK" .
