NAME
       getrpcport - get RPC port number

SYNOPSIS
       int getrpcport(char *host, int prognum, int versnum, int proto);

DESCRIPTION
       getrpcport() returns the port number for version versnum of the RPC program prognum running on host and using protocol proto.  It returns 0
       if it cannot contact the portmapper, or if prognum is not registered.  If prognum is registered but not with version versnum, it will still
       return  a  port	number	(for  some version of the program) indicating that the program is indeed registered.  The version mismatch will be
       detected upon the first call to the service.

CONFORMING TO
       Not in POSIX.1-2001.  Present on the BSDs, Solaris, and many other systems.
