NAME

     getrpcport — get RPC port number

SYNOPSIS

     int
     getrpcport(char *host, int prognum, int versnum, int proto);

DESCRIPTION

     The getrpcport() function 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.

AVAILABILITY

     The getrpcport() function is part of libtirpc.
