NAME
getrpcport —
get RPC port number
SYNOPSIS
#include
<rpc/rpc.h>
int
getrpcport(char
*host, int prognum,
int versnum,
int 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 program is indeed
registered. The version mismatch will be detected upon the first call to the
service.
