calls
SYNOPSIS AND DESCRIPTION
These routines allow C programs to make procedure calls on
other machines across the network. First, the client
calls a procedure to send a data packet to the server.
Upon receipt of the packet, the server calls a dispatch
routine to perform the requested service, and then sends
back a reply. Finally, the procedure call returns to the
client.
Routines that are used for Secure RPC (DES authentication)
are described in rpc_secure(3N). Secure RPC can be used
only if DES encryption is available.
#include <rpc/rpc.h>
void
auth_destroy(auth)
AUTH *auth;
A macro that destroys the authentication informa-
tion associated with auth. Destruction usually
involves deallocation of private data structures.
The use of auth is undefined after calling
auth_destroy().
AUTH *
authnone_create()
Create and returns an RPC authentication handle
that passes unusable authentication information
with each remote procedure call. This is the
default authentication used by RPC.
16 February 1988 1
RPC(3N)RPC(3N)
AUTH *
authunix_create(host, uid, gid, len, aup_gids)
char *host;
int uid, gid, len, *aup.gids;
Create and return an RPC authentication handle that
contains authentication information. The parameter
host is the name of the machine on which the infor-
mation was created; uid is the user's user ID ; gid
is the user's current group ID ; len and aup_gids
refer to a counted array of groups to which the
user belongs. It is easy to impersonate a user.
AUTH *
authunix_create_default()
Calls authunix_create() with the appropriate param-
eters.
callrpc(host, prognum, versnum, procnum, inproc, in, outproc, out)
char *host;
u_long prognum, versnum, procnum;
char *in, *out;
xdrproc_t inproc, outproc;
Call the remote procedure associated with prognum,
versnum, and procnum on the machine, host. The
parameter in is the address of the procedure's
argument(s), and out is the address of where to
place the result(s); inproc is used to encode the
procedure's parameters, and outproc is used to
decode the procedure's results. This routine
returns zero if it succeeds, or the value of enum
clnt_stat cast to an integer if it fails. The rou-
tine clnt_perrno() is handy for translating failure
statuses into messages.
Warning: calling remote procedures with this rou-
tine uses UDP/IP as a transport; see
clntudp_create() for restrictions. You do not have
control of timeouts or authentication using this
routine.
enum clnt_stat
clnt_broadcast(prognum, versnum, procnum, inproc, in, outproc, out, eachresult)
u_long prognum, versnum, procnum;
char *in, *out;
xdrproc_t inproc, outproc;
resultproc_t eachresult;
Like callrpc(), except the call message is broad-
cast to all locally connected broadcast nets. Each
time it receives a response, this routine calls
eachresult(), whose form is:
16 February 1988 2
RPC(3N)RPC(3N)
eachresult(out, addr)
char *out;
struct sockaddr_in *addr;
where out is the same as out passed to
clnt_broadcast(), except that the remote proce-
dure's output is decoded there; addr points to the
address of the machine that sent the results. If
eachresult() returns zero, clnt_broadcast() waits
for more replies; otherwise it returns with appro-
priate status.
Warning: broadcast sockets are limited in size to
the maximum transfer unit of the data link. For
ethernet, this value is 1500 bytes.
enum clnt_stat
clnt_call(clnt, procnum, inproc, in, outproc, out, tout)
CLIENT *clnt;
u_long
procnum;
xdrproc_t inproc, outproc;
char *in, *out;
struct timeval tout;
A macro that calls the remote procedure procnum
associated with the client handle, clnt, which is
obtained with an RPC client creation routine such
as clnt_create(). The parameter in is the address
of the procedure's argument(s), and out is the
address of where to place the result(s); inproc is
used to encode the procedure's parameters, and out-
proc is used to decode the procedure's results;
tout is the time allowed for results to come back.
clnt_destroy(clnt)
CLIENT *clnt;
A macro that destroys the client's RPC handle.
Destruction usually involves deallocation of pri-
vate data structures, including clnt itself. Use
of clnt is undefined after calling clnt_destroy().
If the RPC library opened the associated socket, it
will close it also. Otherwise, the socket remains
open.
CLIENT *
clnt_create(host, prog, vers, proto)
char *host;
u_long prog, vers;
char *proto;
Generic client creation routine. host identifies
the name of the remote host where the server is
16 February 1988 3
RPC(3N)RPC(3N)
located. proto indicates which kind of transport
protocol to use. The currently supported values for
this field are "udp" and "tcp". Default timeouts
are set, but can be modified using clnt_control().
Warning: Using UDP has its shortcomings. Since
UDP-based RPC messages can only hold up to 8 Kbytes
of encoded data, this transport cannot be used for
procedures that take large arguments or return huge
results.
bool_t
clnt_control(cl, req, info)
CLIENT *cl;
char *info;
A macro used to change or retrieve various informa-
tion about a client object. req indicates the type
of operation, and info is a pointer to the informa-
tion. For both UDP and TCP, the supported values of
req and their argument types and what they do are:
CLSET_TIMEOUT struct timeval set total timeout
CLGET_TIMEOUT struct timeval get total timeout
Note: if you set the timeout using clnt_control(),
the timeout parameter passed to clnt_call() will be
ignored in all future calls.
CLGET_SERVER_ADDR struct sockaddr_in get server's address
The following operations are valid for UDP only:
CLSET_RETRY_TIMEOUT struct timeval set the retry timeout
CLGET_RETRY_TIMEOUT struct timeval get the retry timeout
The retry timeout is the time that UDP RPC waits
for the server to reply before retransmitting the
request.
clnt_freeres(clnt, outproc, out)
CLIENT *clnt;
xdrproc_t outproc;
char *out;
A macro that frees any data allocated by the
RPC/XDR system when it decoded the results of an
RPC call. The parameter out is the address of the
results, and outproc is the XDR routine describing
the results. This routine returns one if the
results were successfully freed, and zero other-
wise.
void
16 February 1988 4
RPC(3N)RPC(3N)
clnt_geterr(clnt, errp)
CLIENT *clnt;
struct rpc_err *errp;
A macro that copies the error structure out of the
client handle to the structure at address errp.
void
clnt_pcreateerror(s)
char *s;
Print a message to standard error indicating why a
client RPC handle could not be created. The mes-
sage is prepended with string s and a colon. Used
when a clnt_create(), clntraw_create(),
clnttcp_create(), or clntudp_create() call fails.
void
clnt_perrno(stat)
enum clnt_stat stat;
Print a message to standard error corresponding to
the condition indicated by stat. Used after
callrpc().
clnt_perror(clnt, s)
CLIENT *clnt;
char *s;
Print a message to standard error indicating why an
RPC call failed; clnt is the handle used to do the
call. The message is prepended with string s and a
colon. Used after clnt_call().
char *
clnt_spcreateerror
char *s;
Like clnt_pcreateerror(), except that it returns a
string instead of printing to the standard error.
Bugs: returns pointer to static data that is over-
written on each call.
char *
clnt_sperrno(stat)
enum clnt_stat stat;
Take the same arguments as clnt_perrno(), but
instead of sending a message to the standard error
indicating why an RPC call failed, return a pointer
to a string which contains the message. The string
ends with a NEWLINE.
16 February 1988 5
RPC(3N)RPC(3N)clnt_sperrno() is used instead of clnt_perrno() if
the program does not have a standard error (as a
program running as a server quite likely does not),
or if the programmer does not want the message to
be output with printf, or if a message format dif-
ferent than that supported by clnt_perrno() is to
be used. Note: unlike clnt_sperror() and
clnt_spcreaterror(), clnt_sperrno() returns pointer
to static data, but the result will not get over-
written on each call.
char *
clnt_sperror(rpch, s)
CLIENT *rpch;
char *s;
Like clnt_perror(), except that (like
clnt_sperrno()) it returns a string instead of
printing to standard error.
Bugs: returns pointer to static data that is over-
written on each call.
CLIENT *
clntraw_create(prognum, versnum)
u_long prognum, versnum;
This routine creates a toy RPC client for the
remote program prognum, version versnum. The
transport used to pass messages to the service is
actually a buffer within the process's address
space, so the corresponding RPC server should live
in the same address space; see svcraw_create().
This allows simulation of RPC and acquisition of
RPC overheads, such as round trip times, without
any kernel interference. This routine returns NULL
if it fails.
CLIENT *
clnttcp_create(addr, prognum, versnum, sockp, sendsz, recvsz)
struct sockaddr_in *addr;
u_long prognum, versnum;
int *sockp;
u_int sendsz, recvsz;
This routine creates an RPC client for the remote
program prognum, version versnum; the client uses
TCP/IP as a transport. The remote program is
located at Internet address *addr. If
addr->sin_port is zero, then it is set to the
actual port that the remote program is listening on
(the remote portmap service is consulted for this
information). The parameter sockp is a socket; if
it is RPC_ANYSOCK, then this routine opens a new
16 February 1988 6
RPC(3N)RPC(3N)
one and sets sockp. Since TCP-based RPC uses
buffered I/O , the user may specify the size of the
send and receive buffers with the parameters sendsz
and recvsz; values of zero choose suitable
defaults. This routine returns NULL if it fails.
CLIENT *
clntudp_create(addr, prognum, versnum, wait, sockp)
struct sockaddr_in *addr;
u_long prognum, versnum;
struct timeval wait;
int *sockp;
This routine creates an RPC client for the remote
program prognum, version versnum; the client uses
use UDP/IP as a transport. The remote program is
located at Internet address addr. If
addr->sin_port is zero, then it is set to actual
port that the remote program is listening on (the
remote portmap service is consulted for this infor-
mation). The parameter sockp is a socket; if it is
RPC_ANYSOCK, then this routine opens a new one and
sets sockp. The UDP transport resends the call
message in intervals of wait time until a response
is received or until the call times out. The total
time for the call to time out is specified by
clnt_call().
Warning: since UDP-based RPC messages can only hold
up to 8 Kbytes of encoded data, this transport can-
not be used for procedures that take large argu-
ments or return huge results.
CLIENT *
clntudp_bufcreate(addr, prognum, versnum, wait, sockp, sendsize, recosize)
struct sockaddr_in *addr;
u_long prognum, versnum;
struct timeval wait;
int *sockp;
unsigned int sendsize;
unsigned int recosize;
This routine creates an RPC client for the remote
program prognum, on versnum; the client uses use
UDP/IP as a transport. The remote program is
located at Internet address addr. If
addr->sin_port is zero, then it is set to actual
port that the remote program is listening on (the
remote portmap service is consulted for this infor-
mation). The parameter sockp is a socket; if it is
RPC_ANYSOCK, then this routine opens a new one and
sets sockp. The UDP transport resends the call
message in intervals of wait time until a response
is received or until the call times out. The total
16 February 1988 7
RPC(3N)RPC(3N)
time for the call to time out is specified by
clnt_call().
This allows the user to specify the maximun packet
size for sending and receiving UDP-based RPC mes-
sages.
void
get_myaddress(addr)
struct sockaddr_in *addr;
Stuff the machine's IP address into *addr, without
consulting the library routines that deal with
/etc/hosts. The port number is always set to
htons(PMAPPORT).
struct pmaplist *
pmap_getmaps(addr)
struct sockaddr_in *addr;
A user interface to the portmap service, which
returns a list of the current RPC program-to-port
mappings on the host located at IP address *addr.
This routine can return NULL . The command
`rpcinfo -p' uses this routine.
u_short
pmap_getport(addr, prognum, versnum, protocol)
struct sockaddr_in *addr;
u_long prognum, versnum, protocol;
A user interface to the portmap service, which
returns the port number on which waits a service
that supports program number prognum, version ver-
snum, and speaks the transport protocol associated
with protocol. The value of protocol is most
likely IPPROTO_UDP or IPPROTO_TCP. A return value
of zero means that the mapping does not exist or
that the RPC system failed to contact the remote
portmap service. In the latter case, the global
variable rpc_createerr() contains the RPC status.
enum clnt_stat
pmap_rmtcall(addr, prognum, versnum, procnum, inproc, in, outproc, out, tout, portp)
struct sockaddr_in *addr;
u_long prognum, versnum, procnum;
char *in, *out;
xdrproc_t inproc, outproc;
struct timeval tout;
u_long *portp;
A user interface to the portmap service, which
instructs portmap on the host at IP address *addr
to make an RPC call on your behalf to a procedure
16 February 1988 8
RPC(3N)RPC(3N)
on that host. The parameter *portp will be modi-
fied to the program's port number if the procedure
succeeds. The definitions of other parameters are
discussed in callrpc() and clnt_call(). This pro-
cedure should be used for a "ping" and nothing
else. See also clnt_broadcast().
pmap_set(prognum, versnum, protocol, port)
u_long prognum, versnum, protocol;
u_short port;
A user interface to the portmap service, which
establishes a mapping between the triple
[prognum,versnum,protocol] and port on the
machine's portmap service. The value of protocol is
most likely IPPROTO_UDP or IPPROTO_TCP. This rou-
tine returns one if it succeeds, zero otherwise.
Automatically done by svc_register().
pmap_unset(prognum, versnum)
u_long prognum, versnum;
A user interface to the portmap service, which
destroys all mapping between the triple
[prognum,versnum,*] and ports on the machine's
portmap service. This routine returns one if it
succeeds, zero otherwise.
registerrpc(prognum, versnum, procnum, procname, inproc, outproc)
u_long prognum, versnum, procnum;
char *(*procname) () ;
xdrproc_t inproc, outproc;
Register procedure procname with the RPC service
package. If a request arrives for program prognum,
version versnum, and procedure procnum, procname is
called with a pointer to its parameter(s); progname
should return a pointer to its static result(s);
inproc is used to decode the parameters while out-
proc is used to encode the results. This routine
returns zero if the registration succeeded, -1 oth-
erwise.
Warning: remote procedures registered in this form
are accessed using the UDP/IP transport; see
svcudp_create() for restrictions.
struct rpc_createerr rpc_createerr;
A global variable whose value is set by any RPC
client creation routine that does not succeed. Use
the routine clnt_pcreateerror() to print the reason
why.
16 February 1988 9
RPC(3N)RPC(3N)svc_destroy(xprt)
SVCXPRT *
xprt;
A macro that destroys the RPC service transport
handle, xprt. Destruction usually involves deallo-
cation of private data structures, including xprt
itself. Use of xprt is undefined after calling
this routine.
fd_set svc_fdset;
A global variable reflecting the RPC service side's
read file descriptor bit mask; it is suitable as a
parameter to the select system call. This is only
of interest if a service implementor does not call
svc_run(), but rather does his own asynchronous
event processing. This variable is read-only (do
not pass its address to select!), yet it may change
after calls to svc_getreqset() or any creation rou-
tines.
int svc_fds;
Similar to svc_fedset(), but limited to 32 descrip-
tors. This interface is obsoleted by svc_fdset().
svc_freeargs(xprt, inproc, in)
SVCXPRT *xprt;
xdrproc_t inproc;
char *in;
A macro that frees any data allocated by the
RPC/XDR system when it decoded the arguments to a
service procedure using svc_getargs(). This rou-
tine returns 1 if the results were successfully
freed, and zero otherwise.
svc_getargs(xprt, inproc, in)
SVCXPRT *xprt;
xdrproc_t inproc;
char *in;
A macro that decodes the arguments of an RPC
request associated with the RPC service transport
handle, xprt. The parameter in is the address
where the arguments will be placed; inproc is the
XDR routine used to decode the arguments. This
routine returns one if decoding succeeds, and zero
otherwise.
struct sockaddr_in *
svc_getcaller(xprt)
SVCXPRT *xprt;
16 February 1988 10
RPC(3N)RPC(3N)
The approved way of getting the network address of
the caller of a procedure associated with the RPC
service transport handle, xprt.
svc_getreqset(rdfds)
fd_set *rdfds;
This routine is only of interest if a service
implementor does not call svc_run(), but instead
implements custom asynchronous event processing.
It is called when the select system call has deter-
mined that an RPC request has arrived on some RPC
socket(s) ; rdfds is the resultant read file
descriptor bit mask. The routine returns when all
sockets associated with the value of rdfds have
been serviced.
svc_getreq(rdfds)
int rdfds;
Similar to svc_getreqset(), but limited to 32
descriptors. This interface is obsoleted by
svc_getreqset().
svc_register(xprt, prognum, versnum, dispatch, protocol)
SVCXPRT *xprt;
u_long prognum, versnum;
void (*dispatch) ();
u_long protocol;
Associates prognum and versnum with the service
dispatch procedure, dispatch. If protocol is zero,
the service is not registered with the portmap ser-
vice. If protocol is non-zero, then a mapping of
the triple [prognum,versnum,protocol] to
xprt->xp_port is established with the local portmap
service (generally protocol is zero, IPPROTO_UDP or
IPPROTO_TCP ). The procedure dispatch has the fol-
lowing form:
dispatch(request, xprt)
struct svc_req *request;
SVCXPRT *xprt;
The svc_register() routine returns one if it suc-
ceeds, and zero otherwise.
svc_run()
This routine never returns. It waits for RPC
requests to arrive, and calls the appropriate ser-
vice procedure using svc_getreq() when one arrives.
This procedure is usually waiting for a select()
system call to return.
16 February 1988 11
RPC(3N)RPC(3N)
svc_sendreply(xprt, outproc, out)
SVCXPRT *xprt;
xdrproc_t outproc;
char *out;
Called by an RPC service's dispatch routine to send
the results of a remote procedure call. The param-
eter xprt is the request's associated transport
handle; outproc is the XDR routine which is used to
encode the results; and out is the address of the
results. This routine returns one if it succeeds,
zero otherwise.
void
svc_unregister(prognum, versnum)
u_long prognum, versnum;
Remove all mapping of the double [prognum,versnum]
to dispatch routines, and of the triple
[prognum,versnum,*] to port number.
void
svcerr_auth(xprt, why)
SVCXPRT *xprt;
enum auth_stat why;
Called by a service dispatch routine that refuses
to perform a remote procedure call due to an
authentication error.
void
svcerr_decode(xprt)
SVCXPRT *xprt;
Called by a service dispatch routine that cannot
successfully decode its parameters. See also
svc_getargs().
void
svcerr_noproc(xprt)
SVCXPRT *xprt;
Called by a service dispatch routine that does not
implement the procedure number that the caller
requests.
void
svcerr_noprog(xprt)
SVCXPRT *xprt;
Called when the desired program is not registered
with the RPC package. Service implementors usually
do not need this routine.
16 February 1988 12
RPC(3N)RPC(3N)
void
svcerr_progvers(xprt)
SVCXPRT *xprt;
Called when the desired version of a program is not
registered with the RPC package. Service implemen-
tors usually do not need this routine.
void
svcerr_systemerr(xprt)
SVCXPRT *xprt;
Called by a service dispatch routine when it
detects a system error not covered by any particu-
lar protocol. For example, if a service can no
longer allocate storage, it may call this routine.
void
svcerr_weakauth(xprt)
SVCXPRT *xprt;
Called by a service dispatch routine that refuses
to perform a remote procedure call due to insuffi-
cient authentication parameters. The routine calls
svcerr_auth(xprt, AUTH_TOOWEAK).
SVCXPRT *
svcraw_create()
This routine creates a toy RPC service transport,
to which it returns a pointer. The transport is
really a buffer within the process's address space,
so the corresponding RPC client should live in the
same address space; see clntraw_create(). This
routine allows simulation of RPC and acquisition of
RPC overheads (such as round trip times), without
any kernel interference. This routine returns NULL
if it fails.
SVCXPRT *
svctcp_create(sock, send_buf_size, recv_buf_size)
int sock;
u_int send_buf_size, recv_buf_size;
This routine creates a TCP/IP-based RPC service
transport, to which it returns a pointer. The
transport is associated with the socket sock, which
may be RPC_ANYSOCK, in which case a new socket is
created. If the socket is not bound to a local TCP
port, then this routine binds it to an arbitrary
port. Upon completion, xprt->xp_sock is the trans-
port's socket descriptor, and xprt->xp_port is the
transport's port number. This routine returns NULL
if it fails. Since TCP-based RPC uses buffered I/O
16 February 1988 13
RPC(3N)RPC(3N)
, users may specify the size of buffers; values of
zero choose suitable defaults.
SVCXPRT *
svcfd_create(fd, sendsize, recvsize)
int fd;
u_int sendsize;
u_int recvsize;
Create a service on top of any open descriptor.
Typically, this descriptor is a connected socket
for a stream protocol such as TCP. sendsize and
recvsize indicate sizes for the send and receive
buffers. If they are zero, a reasonable default is
chosen.
SVCXPRT *
svcudp_bufcreate(sock, sendsize, recosize)
int sock;
This routine creates a UDP/IP-based RPC service
transport, to which it returns a pointer. The
transport is associated with the socket sock, which
may be RPC_ANYSOCK , in which case a new socket is
created. If the socket is not bound to a local UDP
port, then this routine binds it to an arbitrary
port. Upon completion, xprt->xp_sock is the trans-
port's socket descriptor, and xprt->xp_port is the
transport's port number. This routine returns NULL
if it fails.
This allows the user to specify the maximun packet
size for sending and receiving UDP-based RPC mes-
sages.
xdr_accepted_reply(xdrs, ar)
XDR *xdrs;
struct accepted_reply *ar;
Used for encoding RPC reply messages. This routine
is useful for users who wish to generate RPC-style
messages without using the RPC package.
xdr_authunix_parms(xdrs, aupp)
XDR *xdrs;
struct authunix_parms *aupp;
Used for describing UNIX credentials. This routine
is useful for users who wish to generate these cre-
dentials without using the RPC authentication pack-
age.
void
xdr_callhdr(xdrs, chdr)
16 February 1988 14
RPC(3N)RPC(3N)
XDR *xdrs;
struct rpc_msg *chdr;
Used for describing RPC call header messages. This
routine is useful for users who wish to generate
RPC-style messages without using the RPC package.
xdr_callmsg(xdrs, cmsg)
XDR *xdrs;
struct rpc_msg *cmsg;
Used for describing RPC call messages. This rou-
tine is useful for users who wish to generate RPC-
style messages without using the RPC package.
xdr_opaque_auth(xdrs, ap)
XDR *xdrs;
struct opaque_auth *ap;
Used for describing RPC authentication information
messages. This routine is useful for users who
wish to generate RPC-style messages without using
the RPC package.
xdr_pmap(xdrs, regs)
XDR *xdrs;
struct pmap *regs;
Used for describing parameters to various portmap
procedures, externally. This routine is useful for
users who wish to generate these parameters without
using the pmap interface.
xdr_pmaplist(xdrs, rp)
XDR *xdrs;
struct pmaplist **rp;
Used for describing a list of port mappings, exter-
nally. This routine is useful for users who wish
to generate these parameters without using the pmap
interface.
xdr_rejected_reply(xdrs, rr)
XDR *xdrs;
struct rejected_reply *rr;
Used for describing RPC reply messages. This rou-
tine is useful for users who wish to generate RPC-
style messages without using the RPC package.
xdr_replymsg(xdrs, rmsg)
XDR *xdrs;
struct rpc_msg *rmsg;
16 February 1988 15
RPC(3N)RPC(3N)
Used for describing RPC reply messages. This rou-
tine is useful for users who wish to generate RPC
style messages without using the RPC package.
void
xprt_register(xprt)
SVCXPRT *xprt;
After RPC service transport handles are created,
they should register themselves with the RPC ser-
vice package. This routine modifies the global
variable svc_fds(). Service implementors usually
do not need this routine.
void
xprt_unregister(xprt)
SVCXPRT *xprt;
Before an RPC service transport handle is
destroyed, it should unregister itself with the RPC
service package. This routine modifies the global
variable svc_fds(). Service implementors usually
do not need this routine.
