rpcinfo(8)							    rpcinfo(8)

NAME
       rpcinfo - report remote procedure call (RPC) information

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p  [host]

       /usr/sbin/rpcinfo [-n portnum] -u  host program-number [version-number]

       /usr/sbin/rpcinfo [-n portnum] -t  host program-number [version-number]

       /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -b  program-number version-number

       /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -d  program-number version-number

OPTIONS
       Makes an RPC broadcast to procedure 0 of the specified program and ver‐
       sion using UDP and report all hosts that respond.  Deletes registration
       for  the	 RPC service of the specified program and version. This option
       can be executed only by the superuser.  Uses portnum as the port number
       for  the	 -t  and  -u  options  instead of the port number given by the
       portmapper.  Probes the portmapper portmap(8),  running	on  host,  and
       print  a list of all registered RPC programs. If host is not specified,
       rpcinfo defaults to the value returned by either hostname(1)  or	 geth‐
       ostname(2).   Makes  an RPC call to procedure 0 of program-number using
       the user datagram protocol (UDP), and report  whether  a	 response  was
       received.  Makes an RPC call to procedure 0 of program-number using the
       transmission control protocol (TCP), and report whether a response  was
       received.

DESCRIPTION
       The  rpcinfo command makes a remote procedure call (RPC) call to an RPC
       server and displays its findings based on the specified	options.   The
       program-number argument can be either a name or a number.  If a version
       is specified, rpcinfo attempts to call that version  of	the  specified
       program. Otherwise, rpcinfo attempts to find all the registered version
       numbers for the specified program by calling version 0.	If  version  0
       exists,	rpcinfo	 attempts  to  obtain  this  information by calling an
       extremely high version number. The rpcinfo  command  then  attempts  to
       call each registered version.

EXAMPLES
       To show all of the RPC services registered on the local machine, use: #
       rpcinfo -p To ping the mountd service registered on the	machine	 named
       klaxon,	use:  #	 rpcinfo  -u klaxon mountd To show all machines on the
       local network that are running the ypserv daemon,  use:	#  rpcinfo  -b
       ypserv 'version' | uniq

	      where  'version'	is  the	 current NIS version obtained from the
	      results of the -p option.	 To delete the registration  for  ver‐
	      sion 1 of the ypbind daemon, use: # rpcinfo -d walld 1
