RPC(5)                                              Linux Programmer's Manual                                             RPC(5)



NAME
       rpc - RPC program number data base

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/rpc

DESCRIPTION
       The  rpc file contains user readable names that can be used in place of RPC program numbers.  Each line has the following
       information:

       name of server for the RPC program
       RPC program number
       aliases

       Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters.  A '#' indicates the beginning of a  comment;  charac-
       ters from the '#' to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.

       Here is an example of the /etc/rpc file from the Sun RPC Source distribution.
