Name
       rpcinfo - report remote procedure call (RPC) information

Syntax
       /etc/rpcinfo -p [ host ]
       /etc/rpcinfo -u host program-number [ version-number ]
       /etc/rpcinfo -t host program-number [ version-number ]

Description
       The  command  makes a remote procedure call (RPC) call to an RPC server and displays its findings based on the specified options.  The pro-
       gram-number argument can be either a name or a number.  If no version is given, it defaults to 1.

Options
       -p     Probe the portmapper running on host, and print a list of all registered RPC programs.  If host is not specified,  defaults  to  the
	      value returned by either or

       -u     Make  an	RPC  call  to  procedure  0  of  program-number  using the user datagram protocol (UDP), and report whether a response was
	      received.

       -t     Make an RPC call to procedure 0 of program-number using the transmission control protocol (TCP), and report whether a  response  was
	      received.

       Names for RPC program numbers

NAME

     rpcinfo -- report RPC information

SYNOPSIS

     rpcinfo -p [host]
     rpcinfo [-n portnum] -u host program [version]
     rpcinfo [-n portnum] -t host program [version]
     rpcinfo -b program version
     rpcinfo -d program version

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

     -p      Probe the portmapper on host, and print a list of all registered RPC programs.  If host is not specified, it defaults to the value
	     returned by hostname(1).

     -u      Make an RPC call to procedure 0 of program on the specified host using UDP, and report whether a response was received.

     -t      Make an RPC call to procedure 0 of program on the specified host using TCP, and report whether a response was received.

     -n      Use portnum as the port number for the -t and -u options instead of the port number given by the portmapper.

     -b      Make an RPC broadcast to procedure 0 of the specified program and version using UDP and report all hosts that respond.

     -d      Delete registration for the RPC service of the specified program and version.  This option can be exercised only by the super-user.

     The program argument can be either a name or a number.

     If a version is specified, rpcinfo attempts to call that version of the specified program.  Otherwise, rpcinfo attempts to find all the reg-
     istered version numbers for the specified program 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: the version
     number is required for -b and -d options.

EXAMPLES

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

	   example% rpcinfo -p

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

	   example% rpcinfo -p klaxon

     To show all machines on the local net that are running the Yellow Pages service use:

	   example% rpcinfo -b ypserv 'version' | uniq

     where 'version' is the current Yellow Pages version obtained from the results of the -p switch above.

     To delete the registration for version 1 of the walld service use:

	   example% rpcinfo -d walld 1

BUGS

     In releases prior to SunOS 3.0, the Network File System (NFS) did not register itself with the portmapper; rpcinfo cannot be used to make RPC
     calls to the NFS server on hosts running such releases.
