NAME

     rpcsvchost -- hosting environment for DCE/RPC services

SYNOPSIS

     rpcsvchost [options] service [service ...]

DESCRIPTION

     rpcsvchost is a very simple environment for hosting DCE/RPC services.  It loads DCE/RPC services from the list of plugins given as arguments,
     binds to an appropriate set of endpoints and listens for protocol requests.

     If service is not a relative file name, it is assumed to be the name of a dylib located in /usr/lib/rpcsvc.

OPTIONS

     -debug, -nodebug
	      rpcsvchost will log debug information and may perform extra diagnostic checks. This option is typically only useful for debugging.

     -endpoints BINDING [,BINDING]
	      This argument specifies additional endpoints that rpcsvchost should attempt to bind.  BINDING must be a comma-separated list of
	      DCE/RPC binding strings that include both the protocol sequence and endpoint fields.

     -help    Prints a usage message and exits.

     -launchd, -nolaunchd
	      Normally, rpcsvchost attempts to bind all the well-known endpoints specified by the service plugins.  If there are no well-known
	      endpoints, it will bind new endpoints on all supported protocol sequences. The -launchd option disables this behavior and causes
	      rpcsvchost to check in with launchd(8) to obtain a set of sockets to bind as protocol endpoints.

	      Launchd sockets vended to rpcsvchost must be named with the appropriate DCE/RPC protocol sequence (eg. "ncacn_np").

     -sandbox, -nosandbox
	      When this option is specified, the modules loaded by rpcsvchost will be run in a sandbox.  rpcsvchost will attempt to intialize the
	      sandbox using the sandbox profile with the name com.apple.<module-name>.sb. See sandbox(7) for an overview of the sandbox facility.

     -register, -noregister
	      When this option is specified, rpcsvchost attempts to register the loaded services with the DCE/RPC endpoint mapper.

     -stdout  Causes rpcsvchost to print log messages to standard output instead of the system log.

     -wait-for-debugger
	      Causes rpcsvchost to wait for a debugger to attach after it has loaded and initialized its plugins. This is useful for debugging
	      instances of rpcsvchost that are launched by launchd(8).

DIAGNOSTICS

     The rpcsvchost utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
