RPCINFO(8C)					      RPCINFO(8C)

NAME
       rpcinfo - report RPC information

SYNOPSIS
       rpcinfo -p [ host ]

       rpcinfo [ -n portnum ] -u host program [ version ]

       rpcinfo [ -n portnum ] -t host program [ version ]

       rpcinfo -b program version

       rpcinfo -d program version

DESCRIPTION
       rpcinfo	makes  an  RPC	call to an RPC server and reports
       what it finds.

OPTIONS
       -p     Probe the portmapper on host, and print a	 list  of
	      all registered RPC programs.  If host is not speci-
	      fied, it defaults to the value  returned	by  host-
	      name(1).

       -u     Make  an	RPC call to procedure 0 of program on the
	      specified host using  UDP,  and  report  whether	a
	      response was received.

       -t     Make  an	RPC call to procedure 0 of program on the
	      specified host using  TCP,  and  report  whether	a
	      response was received.

       -n     Use  portnum  as	the port number for the -t and -u
	      options instead of the port  number  given  by  the
	      portmapper.

       -b     Make  an RPC broadcast to procedure 0 of the speci-
	      fied program and version using UDP and  report  all
	      hosts that respond.

       -d     Delete  registration  for	 the  RPC  service of the
	      specified program and version.  This option can  be
	      exercised only by the super-user.

       The program 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 (which is  pre-
       sumed  not to exist; if it does exist, rpcinfo attempts to
       obtain this information by calling an extremely high  ver-
       sion  number instead) and attempts to call each registered
       version.	 Note: the version number is required for -b  and

       -d options.

EXAMPLES
       To  show	 all  of the RPC services registered on the local
       machine use:

	      example% rpcinfo -p

       To show all of the RPC services registered on the  machine
       named klaxon use:

	      example% rpcinfo -p klaxon

       To show all machines on the local net that are running the
       Yellow Pages service use:

	      example% rpcinfo -b ypserv 'version' | uniq

       where  'version'	 is  the  current  Yellow  Pages  version
       obtained from the results of the -p switch above.

       To delete the registration for version 1 of the walld ser-
       vice use:

	      example% rpcinfo -d walld 1

BUGS
       In releases prior to SunOS 3.0, the  Network  File  System
       (NFS) did not register itself with the portmapper; rpcinfo
       cannot be used to make RPC calls	 to  the  NFS  server  on
       hosts running such releases.
