The rpc file has one line for each RPC program name. The line has the following format: name-of-the-RPC-program RPC-program-number aliases Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. A ``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file. EXAMPLES
