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.
