GETRPCENT(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		  GETRPCENT(3)

NAME
     getrpcent, getrpcbyname, getrpcbynumber, endrpcent, setrpcent — get RPC
     entry

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <rpc/rpc.h>

     struct rpcent *
     getrpcent(void);

     struct rpcent *
     getrpcbyname(const char *name);

     struct rpcent *
     getrpcbynumber(int number);

     void
     setrpcent(int stayopen);

     void
     endrpcent(void);

DESCRIPTION
     getrpcent(), getrpcbyname(), and getrpcbynumber(), each return a pointer
     to an object with the following structure containing the broken-out
     fields of a line in the rpc program number data base, /etc/rpc:

	   struct rpcent {
		   char	   *r_name;	   /* name of server for this rpc program */
		   char	   **r_aliases;	   /* alias list */
		   long	   r_number;	   /* rpc program number */
	   };

     The members of this structure are:

	   r_name     The name of the server for this rpc program.

	   r_aliases  A zero terminated list of alternative names for the rpc
		      program.

	   r_number   The rpc program number for this service.

     getrpcent() reads the next line of the file, opening the file if neces‐
     sary.

     setrpcent() opens and rewinds the file.  If the stayopen flag is non-
     zero, the net data base will not be closed after each call to getrpcent()
     (either directly, or indirectly through one of the other “getrpc” calls).

     endrpcent() closes the file.

     getrpcbyname() and getrpcbynumber() sequentially search from the begin‐
     ning of the file until a matching rpc program name or program number is
     found, or until end-of-file is encountered.

FILES
     /etc/rpc

DIAGNOSTICS
     A NULL pointer is returned on EOF or error.
