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



NAME
       getrpcport - get RPC port number

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

DESCRIPTION
       getrpcport()  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 pro-
       gram is indeed registered.  The version mismatch will be detected upon the first call to the service.

CONFORMING TO
       Not in POSIX.1-2001.  Present on the BSDs, Solaris, and many other systems.
