32.Sh DESCRIPTION
33These routines are a part of the RPC
34library which allows the RPC
35servers to register themselves with rpcbind
36(see
37.Xr rpcbind 8 ) ,
38and associate the given program and version
39number with the dispatch function.
40When the RPC server receives a RPC request, the library invokes the
41dispatch routine with the appropriate arguments.
42.Sh Routines
43See
44.Xr rpc 3
45for the definition of the
46.Vt SVCXPRT
47data structure.
48.Bl -tag -width XXXXX
49.It Fn rpc_reg
50Register program
51.Fa prognum ,
52procedure
53.Fa procname ,
54and version
55.Fa versnum
56with the RPC
57service package.
58If a request arrives for program
59.Fa prognum ,
60version
61.Fa versnum ,
62and procedure
63.Fa procnum ,
64.Fa procname
65is called with a pointer to its argument(s);
66.Fa procname
67should return a pointer to its static result(s);
68.Fa inproc
69is the XDR function used to decode the arguments while
70.Fa outproc
71is the XDR function used to encode the results.
72Procedures are registered on all available transports of the class
73.Fa nettype .
74See
75.Xr rpc 3 .
76This routine returns 0 if the registration succeeded,
77\-1 otherwise.
78.It Fn svc_reg
79Associates
80.Fa prognum
81and
82.Fa versnum
83with the service dispatch procedure,
84.Fa dispatch .
85If
86.Fa netconf
87is
88.Dv NULL ,
89the service is not registered with the
90.Xr rpcbind 8
91service.
92If
93.Fa netconf
94is non-zero,
95then a mapping of the triple
96.Bq Fa prognum , versnum , netconf->nc_netid
97to
98.Fa xprt->xp_ltaddr
99is established with the local rpcbind
100service.
101.Pp
102The
103.Fn svc_reg
104routine returns 1 if it succeeds,
105and 0 otherwise.
106.It Fn svc_unreg
107Remove from the rpcbind
108service, all mappings of the triple
109.Bq Fa prognum , versnum , No all-transports
110to network address
111and all mappings within the RPC service package
112of the double
113.Bq Fa prognum , versnum
114to dispatch routines.
115.It Fn svc_auth_reg
116Registers the service authentication routine
117.Fa handler
118with the dispatch mechanism so that it can be
119invoked to authenticate RPC requests received
120with authentication type
121.Fa cred_flavor .
122This interface allows developers to add new authentication
123types to their RPC applications without needing to modify
124the libraries.
125Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
126.Pp
127Typical service application would call
128.Fn svc_auth_reg
129after registering the service and prior to calling
130.Fn svc_run .
131When needed to process an RPC credential of type
132.Fa cred_flavor ,
133the
134.Fa handler
135procedure will be called with two arguments,
136.Fa "struct svc_req *rqst"
137and
138.Fa "struct rpc_msg *msg" ,
139and is expected to return a valid
140.Vt "enum auth_stat"
141value.
142There is no provision to change or delete an authentication handler
143once registered.
144.Pp
145The
146.Fn svc_auth_reg
147routine returns 0 if the registration is successful,
1481 if
149.Fa cred_flavor
150already has an authentication handler registered for it,
151and \-1 otherwise.
152.It Fn xprt_register
153After RPC service transport handle
154.Fa xprt
155is created, it is registered with the RPC
156service package.
157This routine modifies the global variable
158.Va svc_fdset
159(see
160.Xr rpc_svc_calls 3 ) .
161Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
162.It Fn xprt_unregister
163Before an RPC service transport handle
164.Fa xprt
165is destroyed, it unregisters itself with the
166RPC service package.
167This routine modifies the global variable
168.Va svc_fdset
169(see
170.Xr rpc_svc_calls 3 ) .
171Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
