GETRPCPORT 3 "6 October 1987"
NAME
getrpcport - get RPC port number
SYNOPSIS
int getrpcport(host, prognum, versnum, proto)
 char *host;
 int prognum, versnum, proto;
DESCRIPTION
getrpcport "" "\fLgetrpcport \(em get RPC port number" 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.
