       getrpcent, getrpcbyname, getrpcbynumber, setrpcent, endrpcent - get RPC

       #include <netdb.h>

       struct rpcent *getrpcent(void);

       struct rpcent *getrpcbyname(char *name);

       struct rpcent *getrpcbynumber(int number);

       void setrpcent(int stayopen);

       void endrpcent(void);

       The getrpcent(), getrpcbyname(), and  getrpcbynumber()  functions  each
       return  a  pointer to an object with the following structure containing
       the broken-out fields of an entry in the RPC program number data base.

	   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 NULL-terminated list of alternate names for  the  RPC

	   r_number    The RPC program number for this service.

       The  getrpcent()	 function  reads  the next entry from the database.  A
       connection is opened to the database if necessary.

       The setrpcent() function opens a connection to the database,  and  sets
       the getrpc*() functions.

       The endrpcent() function closes the connection to the database.

       The  getrpcbyname()  and getrpcbynumber() functions sequentially search
       from the beginning of the file until a matching	RPC  program  name  or
       program number is found, or until end-of-file is encountered.

       On  success, getrpcent(), getrpcbyname(), and getrpcbynumber() return a
       pointer to a statically allocated rpcent structure.  NULL  is  returned
       on EOF or error.

	      RPC program number database.

       Not in POSIX.1-2001.  Present on the BSDs, Solaris, and many other sys‐

       it is to be saved.
