23.Op Ar version
24.Nm rpcinfo
25.Fl b
26.Ar program version
27.Nm rpcinfo
28.Fl d

30.Sh DESCRIPTION
31.Nm Rpcinfo
32makes an
33.Tn RPC
34call to an
35.Tn RPC
36server and reports what it finds.
37.Sh OPTIONS
38.Bl -tag -width indent
39.It Fl p
40Probe the portmapper on
41.Ar host ,
42and print a list of all registered
43.Tn RPC
44programs.  If
45.Ar host
46is not specified, it defaults to the value returned by
47.Xr hostname 1 .
48.It Fl u
49Make an
50.Tn RPC
51call to procedure 0 of
52.Ar program
53on the specified
54.Ar host
55using
56.Tn UDP ,
57and report whether a response was received.
58.It Fl t
59Make an
60.Tn RPC
61call to procedure 0 of
62.Ar program
63on the specified
64.Ar host
65using
66.Tn TCP ,
67and report whether a response was received.
68.It Fl n
69Use
70.Ar portnum
71as the port number for the
72.Fl t
73and
74.Fl u
75options instead of the port number given by the portmapper.
76.It Fl b
77Make an
78.Tn RPC
79broadcast to procedure 0 of the specified
80.Ar program
81and
82.Ar version
83using
84.Tn UDP
85and report all hosts that respond.
86.It Fl d
87Delete registration for the
88.Tn RPC
89service of the specified
90.Ar program
91and
92.Ar version .
93This option can be exercised only by the super-user.
94.El
95.Pp
96The
97.Ar program
98argument can be either a name or a number.
99.Pp
100If a
101.Ar version
102is specified,
103.Nm
104attempts to call that version of the specified
105.Ar program .
106Otherwise,
107.Nm
108attempts to find all the registered version
109numbers for the specified
110.Ar program
111by calling version 0 (which is presumed not
112to exist; if it does exist,
113.Nm
114attempts to obtain this information by calling
115an extremely high version
116number instead) and attempts to call each registered version.
117Note: the version number is required for
118.Fl b
119and
120.Fl d
121options.
122.Sh EXAMPLES
123To show all of the
124.Tn RPC
125services registered on the local machine use:
126.Pp
127.Dl example% rpcinfo -p
128.Pp
129To show all of the
130.Tn RPC
131services registered on the machine named
132.Ar klaxon
133use:
134.Pp
135.Dl example% rpcinfo -p klaxon
136.Pp
137To show all machines on the local net that are running the Yellow Pages
138service use:
139.Pp
140.Dl example% rpcinfo -b ypserv 'version' | uniq
141.Pp
142where 'version' is the current Yellow Pages version obtained from the
143results of the
144.Fl p
145switch above.
146.Pp
147To delete the registration for version 1 of the
148.Nm walld

158.Sh BUGS
159In releases prior to SunOS 3.0, the Network File System (NFS) did not
160register itself with the portmapper;
161.Nm
162cannot be used to make
163.Tn RPC
164calls to the
165.Tn NFS
166server on hosts running such releases.
