35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36These routines are a part of the RPC
37library which allows the RPC
38servers to register themselves with rpcbind
39(see
40.Xr rpcbind 8 ) ,
41and associate the given program and version
42number with the dispatch function.
43When the RPC server receives a RPC request, the library invokes the
44dispatch routine with the appropriate arguments.
45.Sh Routines
46See
47.Xr rpc 3
48for the definition of the
49.Vt SVCXPRT
50data structure.
51.Bl -tag -width XXXXX
52.It Fn rpc_reg
53Register program
54.Fa prognum ,
55procedure
56.Fa procname ,
57and version
58.Fa versnum
59with the RPC
60service package.
61If a request arrives for program
62.Fa prognum ,
63version
64.Fa versnum ,
65and procedure
66.Fa procnum ,
67.Fa procname
68is called with a pointer to its argument(s);
69.Fa procname
70should return a pointer to its static result(s);
71.Fa inproc
72is the XDR function used to decode the arguments while
73.Fa outproc
74is the XDR function used to encode the results.
75Procedures are registered on all available transports of the class
76.Fa nettype .
77See
78.Xr rpc 3 .
79This routine returns 0 if the registration succeeded,
80\-1 otherwise.
81.It Fn svc_reg
82Associates
83.Fa prognum
84and
85.Fa versnum
86with the service dispatch procedure,
87.Fa dispatch .
88If
89.Fa netconf
90is
91.Dv NULL ,
92the service is not registered with the
93.Xr rpcbind 8
94service.
95If
96.Fa netconf
97is non-zero,
98then a mapping of the triple
99.Bq Fa prognum , versnum , netconf->nc_netid
100to
101.Fa xprt->xp_ltaddr
102is established with the local rpcbind
103service.
104.Pp
105The
106.Fn svc_reg
107routine returns 1 if it succeeds,
108and 0 otherwise.
109.It Fn svc_unreg
110Remove from the rpcbind
111service, all mappings of the triple
112.Bq Fa prognum , versnum , No all-transports
113to network address
114and all mappings within the RPC service package
115of the double
116.Bq Fa prognum , versnum
117to dispatch routines.
118.It Fn svc_auth_reg
119Registers the service authentication routine
120.Fa handler
121with the dispatch mechanism so that it can be
122invoked to authenticate RPC requests received
123with authentication type
124.Fa cred_flavor .
125This interface allows developers to add new authentication
126types to their RPC applications without needing to modify
127the libraries.
128Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
129.Pp
130Typical service application would call
131.Fn svc_auth_reg
132after registering the service and prior to calling
133.Fn svc_run .
134When needed to process an RPC credential of type
135.Fa cred_flavor ,
136the
137.Fa handler
138procedure will be called with two arguments,
139.Fa "struct svc_req *rqst"
140and
141.Fa "struct rpc_msg *msg" ,
142and is expected to return a valid
143.Vt "enum auth_stat"
144value.
145There is no provision to change or delete an authentication handler
146once registered.
147.Pp
148The
149.Fn svc_auth_reg
150routine returns 0 if the registration is successful,
1511 if
152.Fa cred_flavor
153already has an authentication handler registered for it,
154and \-1 otherwise.
155.It Fn xprt_register
156After RPC service transport handle
157.Fa xprt
158is created, it is registered with the RPC
159service package.
160This routine modifies the global variable
161.Va svc_fdset
162(see
163.Xr rpc_svc_calls 3 ) .
164Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
165.It Fn xprt_unregister
166Before an RPC service transport handle
167.Fa xprt
168is destroyed, it unregisters itself with the
169RPC service package.
170This routine modifies the global variable
171.Va svc_fdset
172(see
173.Xr rpc_svc_calls 3 ) .
174Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
