int
getrpcport (char *host int prognum int versnum int proto);
DESCRIPTION
The
getrpcport ();
function
returns the port number for version
Fa versnum
of the RPC program
Fa prognum
running on
Fa host
and using protocol
Fa proto .
It returns 0 if it cannot contact the portmapper, or if
Fa prognum
is not registered.
If
Fa prognum
is registered but not with version
Fa 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.
