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

NAME         top

       getrpcport - get RPC port number

SYNOPSIS         top

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

DESCRIPTION         top

       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.

CONFORMING TO         top
