NAME
       rpc_localaddr - discover local endpoint address for an RPC client

SYNOPSIS
       int rpc_localaddr(struct rpc_clnt * clnt, struct sockaddr * buf, size_t buflen);

ARGUMENTS
       clnt
	   RPC client structure

       buf
	   target buffer

       buflen
	   size of target buffer, in bytes

DESCRIPTION
       Returns zero and fills in "buf" and "buflen" if successful; otherwise, a negative errno is returned.

       This works even if the underlying transport is not currently connected, or if the upper layer never previously provided a source address.

THE RESULT OF THIS FUNCTION CALL IS TRANSIENT
       multiple calls in succession may give different results, depending on how local networking configuration changes over time.
