NAME

     getrpcport — get RPC port number

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

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.
