GETRPCENT_R(3)                                      Linux Programmer's Manual                                     GETRPCENT_R(3)



NAME
       getrpcent_r, getrpcbyname_r, getrpcbynumber_r - get RPC entry (reentrant)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <netdb.h>

       int getrpcent_r(struct rpcent *result_buf, char *buf,
                       size_t buflen, struct rpcent **result);

       int getrpcbyname_r(const char *name,
                       struct rpcent *result_buf, char *buf,
                       size_t buflen, struct rpcent **result);

       int getrpcbynumber_r(int number,
                       struct rpcent *result_buf, char *buf,
                       size_t buflen, struct rpcent **result);

DESCRIPTION
       The  getrpcent_r(),  getrpcbyname_r(),  and  getrpcbynumber_r() functions are the reentrant equivalents of, respectively,
       getrpcent(3), getrpcbyname(3), and getrpcbynumber(3).  They differ in the way that the rpcent structure is returned,  and
       in  the  function  calling signature and return value.  This manual page describes just the differences from the nonreen-
       trant functions.

       Instead of returning a pointer to a statically allocated rpcent structure as the function result,  these  functions  copy
       the structure into the location pointed to by result_buf.

       The  buf  array  is used to store the string fields pointed to by the returned rpcent structure.  (The nonreentrant func-
       tions allocate these strings in static storage.)  The size of this array is specified in buflen.  If buf  is  too  small,
       the call fails with the error ERANGE, and the caller must try again with a larger buffer.  (A buffer of length 1024 bytes
       should be sufficient for most applications.)

       If the function call successfully obtains an RPC record, then *result is set pointing to result_buf;  otherwise,  *result
       is set to NULL.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, these functions return 0.  On error, a positive error number is returned.

       On error, record not found (getrpcbyname_r(), getrpcbynumber_r()), or end of input (getrpcent_r()) result is set to NULL.

ERRORS
       ENOENT (getrpcent_r()) No more records in database.

       ERANGE buf is too small.  Try again with a larger buffer (and increased buflen).

CONFORMING TO
       These functions are GNU extensions.  Functions with similar names exist on some other systems, though typically with dif-
       ferent calling signatures.
