GETRPCPORT(3)            BSD Library Functions Manual            GETRPCPORT(3)

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 re-
     turns 0 if it cannot contact the portmapper, or if prognum is not regis-
     tered.  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 de-
     tected upon the first call to the service.

AVAILABILITY
     The getrpcport() function is part of libtirpc.
