DESCRIPTION

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

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

       In the second synopsis, lists all the RPC services registered with version 2.  Also 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 protocol).

       The third synopsis makes an RPC call to procedure 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

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

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

       The other ways of using are described in the section.

   Options
       Specify the transport on which the service is required.
		      If  this option is not specified, uses the transport specified in the environment variable, or if that is unset or null, the
		      transport in the netconfig(4) database is used.  This is a generic option, and can be used in conjunction with other options
		      as shown in the

       Use	      serv_address  as	the (universal) address for the service on transport to ping procedure of the specified prognum and report
		      whether a response was received.	The option is required with the option.

		      If versnum is not specified, tries to ping all available version numbers for that program number.  This option avoids  calls
		      to remote to find the address of the service.  The serv_address is specified in universal address format of the given trans-
		      port.

       Make an RPC broadcast to procedure
		      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.

       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 registered.  Only the owner of a service can delete a
		      registration, except the super-user who can delete any service.

       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

       Display a table of statistics of
		      operations  on  the  given host.	The table shows statistics for each version of (versions 2, 3 and 4), giving the number of
		      times each procedure was requested and successfully serviced, 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.

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

       Probe	      on host using version 2 of the protocol, and display a list of all registered RPC programs.  If host is  not  specified,	it
		      defaults to the local host.  Note that version 2 of the protocol was previously known as the portmapper protocol.

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

       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
		      option as shown in the third synopsis.

       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 option as shown in the third synopsis.

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

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

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

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

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