DESCRIPTION

       rpcinfo makes an RPC call to an RPC server and reports what it finds.

       In  the first synopsis, rpcinfo lists all the registered RPC services with rpcbind on host. If host is not specified, the local host is the
       default. If -s is used, the information is displayed in a concise format.

       In the second synopsis, rpcinfo lists all the RPC services registered with rpcbind, version 2. Note that the format of the  information  is
       different  in  the  first and the second synopsis. This is because the second synopsis is an older protocol used to collect the information
       displayed (version 2 of the rpcbind protocol).

       The third synopsis makes an RPC call to procedure 0 of prognum and versnum on the  specified  host  and  reports  whether  a  response  was
       received.  transport  is the transport which has to be used for contacting the given service. The remote address of the service is obtained
       by making a call to the remote rpcbind.

       The prognum argument is a number that represents an RPC program number (see rpc(4)).

       If a versnum is specified, rpcinfo attempts to call that version of the specified prognum. Otherwise, rpcinfo attempts to find all the reg-
       istered  version numbers for the specified prognum by calling version 0, which is presumed not to exist; if it does exist, rpcinfo attempts
       to obtain this information by calling an extremely high version number instead, and attempts to call each registered version. Note that the
       version number is required for -b and -d options.

       The EXAMPLES section describe other ways of using rpcinfo.

OPTIONS

       -T transport            Specify the transport on which the service is required. If this option is not specified, rpcinfo uses the transport
                               specified in the NETPATH environment variable, or if that is unset or NULL, the transport in the netconfig(4) data-
                               base is used. This is a generic option, and can be used in conjunction with other options as shown in the SYNOPSIS.

       -a serv_address         Use  serv_address  as  the  (universal)  address  for the service on transport to ping procedure 0 of the specified
                               prognum and report whether a response was received. The -T option is required with the -a option. If versnum is not
                               specified, rpcinfo tries to ping all available version numbers for that program number. This option avoids calls to
                               remote rpcbind to find the address of the service. The serv_address is specified in universal address format of the
                               given transport.

       -b                      Make  an  RPC  broadcast  to procedure 0 of the specified prognum and versnum and report all hosts that respond. If
                               transport is specified, it broadcasts its request only on the specified transport. If broadcasting is not supported
                               by  any  transport, an error message is printed. Use of broadcasting should be limited because of the potential for
                               adverse effect on other systems.

       -d                      Delete registration for the RPC service of the specified prognum and versnum. If transport is specified, unregister
                               the  service  on only that transport, otherwise unregister the service on all the transports on which it was regis-
                               tered. Only the owner of a service can delete a registration, except the superuser, who can delete any service.

       -l                      Display a list of entries with a given prognum and versnum on the specified host.  Entries  are  returned  for  all
                               transports in the same protocol family as that used to contact the remote rpcbind.

       -m                      Display  a table of statistics of rpcbind operations on the given host. The table shows statistics for each version
                               of rpcbind (versions 2, 3 and 4), giving the number of times each procedure was  requested  and  successfully  ser-
                               viced,  the  number and type of remote call requests that were made, and information about RPC address lookups that
                               were handled. This is useful for monitoring RPC activities on host.

       -n portnum              Use portnum as the port number for the -t and -u options instead of the port number given by rpcbind. Use  of  this
                               option  avoids a call to the remote rpcbind to find out the address of the service. This option is made obsolete by
                               the -a option.

       -p                      Probe rpcbind on host using version 2 of the rpcbind protocol, and display a list of all registered  RPC  programs.
                               If  host  is  not  specified, it defaults to the local host. This option is not useful for IPv6; use -s (see below)
                               instead. Note that version 2 of the rpcbind protocol was previously known as the portmapper protocol.

       -s                      Display a concise list of all registered RPC programs on host. If host is not specified, it defaults to  the  local
                               host.

       -t                      Make  an  RPC  call  to  procedure  0 of prognum on the specified host using TCP, and report whether a response was
                               received. This option is made obsolete by the -T option as shown in the third synopsis.

       -u                      Make an RPC call to procedure 0 of prognum on the specified host using UDP,  and  report  whether  a  response  was
                               received. This option is made obsolete by the -T option as shown in the third synopsis.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: RPC services.

       To show all of the RPC services registered on the local machine use:

       example% rpcinfo

       To show all of the RPC services registered with rpcbind on the machine named klaxon use:

       example% rpcinfo klaxon

       The information displayed by the above commands can be quite lengthy. Use the -s option to display a more concise list:

       example% rpcinfo -s klaxon

       program   vrsn    netid(s)                          service    owner

        100008   1       ticotsord,ticots,ticlts,udp,tcp   walld      superuser
        100002   2,1     ticotsord,ticots,ticlts,udp,tcp   rusersd    superuser

        100078   4       ticotsord,ticots,ticlts           -          superuser
        100024   1       ticotsord,ticots,ticlts,udp,tcp   status     superuser
        100021   2,1     ticotsord,ticots,ticlts,udp,tcp   nlockmgr   superuser
        100020   1       ticotsord,ticots,ticlts,udp,tcp   llockmgr   superuser

       To show whether the RPC service with program number prognum and version versnum is registered on the machine named klaxon for the transport
       TCP use:

       example% rpcinfo -T tcp klaxon prognum versnum

       To show all RPC services registered with version 2 of the rpcbind protocol on the local machine use:

       example% rpcinfo -p

       To delete the registration for version 1 of the walld (program number 100008) service for all transports use:

       example# rpcinfo -d 100008 1

       or

       example# rpcinfo -d walld 1
