NAME
getrpcport - get RPC port number
SYNOPSIS
int getrpcport(host, prognum, versnum, proto)
char *host;
int prognum, versnum, proto;
DESCRIPTION
R getrpcport ()
returns the port number for version
versnum
of the RPC program
prognum
running on
host
and using protocol
R proto .
It returns 0 if it cannot contact the portmapper, or if
prognum
is not registered.
