RPCINFO(8)		 BSD System Manager's Manual		    RPCINFO(8)

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
     rpcinfo -s program version port

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

     The options are as follows:

     -p	     Probe the portmapper on host, and print a list of all registered
	     RPC programs. If host is not specified, it defaults to the value
	     returned by hostname(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 specified program and
	     version using UDP and report all hosts that respond.

     -d	     Delete registration for the RPC service of the specified program
	     and version. Registrations which point at ports numbered below
	     1024 can only be deleted by the superuser.

     -s	     Create a registration for the RPC service of the specified
	     program and version, located at port port. Registrations which
	     point at ports numbered below 1024 can only be created (or
	     changed) by the superuser.

     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
     presumed not to exist; if it does exist, rpcinfo attempts to obtain this
     information by calling an extremely high version number instead) and at-
     tempts to call each registered version. Note: the version number is re-
     quired for -b and -d options.

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

	   $ rpcinfo -p

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

	   $ rpcinfo -p klaxon

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

	   $ 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 service use:

	   $ 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.
