GETRPCENT(3) GETRPCENT(3)
NAME
getrpcent, getrpcbyname, getrpcbynumber - get RPC entry
SYNOPSIS
#include <netdb.h>
struct rpcent *getrpcent()
struct rpcent *getrpcbyname(name)
char *name;
struct rpcent *getrpcbynumber(number)
int number;
setrpcent (stayopen)
int stayopen;
endrpcent ()
DESCRIPTION
getrpcent(), getrpcbyname(), and getrpcbynumber() each return a pointer to an
object with the following structure containing the broken-out fields of a line in
the rpc program number data base, /etc/rpc.
struct rpcent {
char *r_name; /* name of server for this rpc program */
char **r_aliases; /* alias list */
long r_number; /* rpc program number */
};
The members of this structure are:
r_name The name of the server for this rpc program.
r_aliases A zero terminated list of alternate names for the rpc
program.
r_number The rpc program number for this service.
getrpcent() reads the next line of the file, opening the file if necessary.
setrpcent() opens and rewinds the file. If the stayopen flag is non-zero, the net
data base will not be closed after each call to getrpcent() (either directly, or
indirectly through one of the other “getrpc” calls).
endrpcent closes the file.
getrpcbyname() and getrpcbynumber() sequentially search from the beginning of the
file until a matching rpc program name or program number is found, or until end-of-
file is encountered.
FILES
/etc/rpc

DIAGNOSTICS
A NULL pointer is returned on EOF or error.
BUGS
All information is contained in a static area so it must be copied if it is to be
saved.
