getrpcport(3R)                    SDK R4.11                   getrpcport(3R)


NAME
       getrpcport - get RPC port number

SYNOPSIS
       int getrpcport(host, prognum, versnum, proto)
            char *host;
            int prognum, versnum, 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 program is indeed registered.  The version
       mismatch will be detected upon the first call to the service.

SEE ALSO
       getrpcent(3N), rpc(3N).
