getrpcport
—
get RPC port number
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
int
getrpcport
(char
*host, int prognum,
int versnum,
int proto);
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.
