xdr_pmap(3)                         CLIX                         xdr_pmap(3)



  NAME

    xdr_pmap - Library function for remote procedure calls

  LIBRARY

    Berkeley Software Distribution Library (libbsd.a)

  SYNOPSIS

    #include <sys/xdr.h>

    xdr_pmap(
      XDR *xdrs ,
      struct pmap *regs );

  PARAMETERS

    xdrs   Specifies the address of the XDR handle.

    regs   Specifies the address of the portmap procedure parameters.

  DESCRIPTION

    The xdr_pmap() function allows C programs to make procedure calls on other
    machines across the network.  First, the client calls a procedure to send
    a data packet to the server.  Upon receipt of the packet, the server calls
    a dispatch routine to perform the requested service, and then sends back a
    reply.  Finally, the procedure call returns to the client.

    The xdr_pmap() function is used for describing parameters to various
    portmap procedures, externally.  This function is useful for users who
    wish to generate these parameters without using the pmap interface.

  RETURN VALUES

    This function returns 1 if successful, and 0 otherwise.
