DESCRIPTION
makes an RPC call to an RPC server and reports what it finds.
In the first synopsis, lists all the registered RPC services with on
host. If host is not specified, the local host is the default. If is
used, the information is displayed in a concise format.
In the second synopsis, lists all the RPC services registered with ver‐
sion 2. Also note that the format of the information is different in
the first and the second synopsis. This is because the second synopsis
is an older protocol used to collect the information displayed (version
2 of the protocol).
The third synopsis makes an RPC call to procedure of prognum and ver‐
snum on the specified host and reports whether a response was received.
transport is the transport which has to be used for contacting the
given service. The remote address of the service is obtained by making
a call to the remote
The prognum argument is a number that represents an RPC program number
(see rpc(4)).
If a versnum is specified, attempts to call that version of the speci‐
fied prognum. Otherwise, attempts to find all the registered version
numbers for the specified prognum by calling version 0, which is pre‐
sumed not to exist; if it does exist, attempts to obtain this informa‐
tion by calling an extremely high version number instead, and attempts
to call each registered version. Note that the version number is
required for and options.
The other ways of using are described in the section.
Options
Specify the transport on which the service is required.
If this option is not specified, uses the transport
specified in the environment variable, or if that is
unset or null, the transport in the netconfig(4) data‐
base is used. This is a generic option, and can be used
in conjunction with other options as shown in the
Use serv_address as the (universal) address for the service
on transport to ping procedure of the specified prognum
and report whether a response was received. The option
is required with the option.
If versnum is not specified, tries to ping all available
version numbers for that program number. This option
avoids calls to remote to find the address of the ser‐
vice. The serv_address is specified in universal
address format of the given transport.
Make an RPC broadcast to procedure
of the specified prognum and versnum and report all
hosts that respond. If transport is specified, it
broadcasts its request only on the specified transport.
If broadcasting is not supported by any transport, an
error message is printed. Use of broadcasting should be
limited because of the potential for adverse effect on
other systems.
Delete registration for the
RPC service of the specified prognum and versnum. If
transport is specified, unregister the service on only
that transport, otherwise unregister the service on all
the transports on which it was registered. Only the
owner of a service can delete a registration, except the
super-user who can delete any service.
Display a list of entries with a given
prognum and versnum on the specified host. Entries are
returned for all transports in the same protocol family
as that used to contact the remote
Display a table of statistics of
operations on the given host. The table shows statis‐
tics for each version of (versions 2, 3 and 4), giving
the number of times each procedure was requested and
successfully serviced, the number and type of remote
call requests that were made, and information about RPC
address lookups that were handled. This is useful for
monitoring RPC activities on host.
Use portnum as the port number for the and options instead
of the port number given by Use of this option avoids a
call to the remote to find out the address of the ser‐
vice. This option is made obsolete by the option.
Probe on host using version 2 of the protocol, and display a
list of all registered RPC programs. If host is not
specified, it defaults to the local host. Note that
version 2 of the protocol was previously known as the
portmapper protocol.
Display a concise list of all registered RPC programs on
host. If host is not specified, it defaults to the
local host.
Make an RPC call to procedure 0 of
prognum on the specified host using TCP, and report
whether a response was received. This option is made
obsolete by the option as shown in the third synopsis.
Make an RPC call to procedure 0 of prognum on the specified host
using UDP, and report whether a response was received.
This option is made obsolete by the option as shown in
the third synopsis.
