.SH NAME
rpc_svc_reg, rpc_reg, svc_reg, svc_unreg, svc_auth_reg, xprt_register,
xprt_unregister \- library routines for registering servers
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These routines are a part of the \fBRPC\fR library which allows the \fBRPC\fR
servers to register themselves with \fBrpcbind()\fR (see  \fBrpcbind\fR(1M)),
and associate the given program and version number with the dispatch function.
When the RPC server receives a RPC request, the library invokes the dispatch
routine with the appropriate arguments.

.sp .6
.RS 4n
Register program \fIprognum\fR, procedure \fIprocname\fR, and version
\fIversnum\fR with the \fBRPC\fR service package. If a request arrives for
program \fIprognum\fR, version \fIversnum\fR, and procedure \fIprocnum\fR,
\fIprocname\fR is called with a pointer to its parameter(s); \fIprocname\fR
should return a pointer to its \fBstatic\fR result(s). The \fIarg\fR parameter
to \fIprocname\fR is a pointer to the (decoded) procedure argument.
\fIinproc\fR is the XDR function used to decode the parameters while
\fIoutproc\fR is the XDR function used to encode the results. Procedures are
registered on all available transports of the class \fInettype\fR. See
\fBrpc\fR(3NSL). This routine returns \fB0\fR if the registration succeeded,
\fB\(mi1\fR otherwise.

.RS 4n
Associates \fIprognum\fR and \fIversnum\fR with the service dispatch procedure,
\fIdispatch\fR. If \fInetconf\fR is \fINULL\fR, the service is not registered
with the \fBrpcbind\fR service.  For example, if a service has already been
registered using some other means, such as \fBinetd\fR (see  \fBinetd\fR(1M)),
it will not need to be registered again. If \fInetconf\fR is non-zero, then a
mapping of the triple [\fIprognum\fR, \fI versnum\fR, \fInetconf\fR->\fI]\fR to
\fIxprt\fR-> \fIxp_ltaddr\fR is established with the local \fBrpcbind\fR
service.
.sp
The \fBsvc_reg()\fR routine returns \fB1\fR if it succeeds, and \fB0\fR
otherwise.

Remove from the \fBrpcbind\fR service, all mappings of the triple
[\fIprognum\fR, \fIversnum\fR, \fIall-transports\fR] to network address and all
mappings within the RPC service package of the double [\fIprognum\fR,
\fIversnum\fR] to dispatch routines.

\fBint svc_auth_reg(const int \fIcred_flavor\fR, const enum auth_stat
(*handler)(\|));\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Registers the service authentication routine \fIhandler\fR with the dispatch
mechanism so that it can be invoked to authenticate RPC requests received with
authentication type \fIcred_flavor\fR. This interface allows developers to add
new authentication types to their RPC applications without needing to modify
the libraries. Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
.sp
Typical service application would call \fBsvc_auth_reg()\fR after registering
the service and prior to calling \fBsvc_run()\fR. When needed to process an RPC
credential of type \fIcred_flavor\fR, the \fIhandler\fR procedure will be
called with two parameters \fB (struct svc_req *\fR\fIrqst\fR\fB,\fR \fBstruct
rpc_msg *\fR\fImsg\fR\fB)\fR and is expected to return a valid \fBenum
auth_stat\fR value. There is no provision to change or delete an authentication
handler once registered.
.sp
The \fBsvc_auth_reg()\fR routine returns \fB0\fR if the registration is
successful, \fB1\fR if \fIcred_flavor\fR already has an authentication handler
registered for it, and \fB\(mi1\fR otherwise.

.sp .6
.RS 4n
After \fBRPC\fR service transport handle \fIxprt\fR is created, it is
registered with the \fBRPC\fR service package. This routine modifies the global
variable \fBsvc_fdset\fR (see \fBrpc_svc_calls\fR(3NSL)). Service implementors
usually do not need this routine.

\fBvoid xprt_unregister(const SVCXPRT *\fIxprt\fR);\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Before an \fBRPC\fR service transport handle \fIxprt\fR is destroyed, it
unregisters itself with the \fBRPC\fR service package. This routine modifies
the global variable \fBsvc_fdset\fR (see \fBrpc_svc_calls\fR(3NSL)). Service
implementors usually do not need this routine.
