LIBRARY
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
bash
#include <rpc/rpc.h>bash
int getrpcport(const char *\nhost\n, unsigned long \nprognum\n,\n
\n unsigned long \nversnum\n, unsigned int \nproto\n);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 program is indeed registered. The version mismatch will be detected upon the first call to the service.
