RPCINFO(8C)RPCINFO(8C)NAMErpcinfo - report RPC information
SYNOPSISrpcinfo-p [ host ]
rpcinfo-u host program [ version ]
rpcinfo-t host program [ version ]
rpcinfo-b program version
DESCRIPTIONrpcinfo 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 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.
-b Make an RPC broadcast to procedure 0 of the specified program
and version using UDP and report all hosts that respond.
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 attempts to call each registered version. Note: the
version number is required for the -b option.
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.
