NAME
getrpcport - get RPC port number
SYNOPSIS
int getrpcport(host, prognum, versnum, proto) char *host; int prognum, versnum, proto;
DESCRIPTION
getrpcport "" "\fLgetrpcport \(em get RPC port number" 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 program is indeed registered.
The version mismatch will be detected upon the first call to the service.
