NAME
getrpcport - get RPC port number
SYNOPSIS
#include <rpc/rpc.h> int getrpcport(const char *host, unsigned long prognum, unsigned long versnum, unsigned 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.
