 NAME

   rpccp - Starts the RPC control program

 SYNOPSIS

   rpccp  [rpccp-command]

 NOTES
   This facility is superceded by the DCE control program (dcecp) for
   OSF DCE version 1.1.

   A server entry equates to an NSI binding attribute and, optionally,
   an object attribute; a group equates to an NSI group attribute; and
   a profile equates to an NSI profile attribute.  Typically, each
   server's entries, groups, and profiles reside in distinct name
   service entries.

 NOTES
   With the exception of the rpccp_help subcommand, this command is
   replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command.  This command may be
   fully replaced by the dcecp command in a future release of DCE, and
   may no longer be supported at that time.

 DESCRIPTION

   The RPC control program (RPCCP) provides a set of commands for managing
   name service use for RPC applications and for managing the endpoint map.

   You can use control program commands from within the control program
   or from the system prompt (represented here as a $).

   To use the control program commands from inside the control program,
   Start and enter the control program using the rpccp command alone,
   without any argument.  The control program then displays the control
   program prompt (rpccp>), as follows:

        $ rpccp
        rpccp>

   You can then enter any control program command, for example:

        rpccp> show entry /.:/LandS/anthro/pr_server_node3

   You leave the control program and return to the system prompt using
   the exit or quit command.

   If you enter invalid input, the control program displays the valid
   commands.

   To use the control program commands from the system prompt, enter the
   rpccp command with an internal command of the control program as the
   first argument.  You can do this either interactively or in a command
   procedure.  For example, you can enter the show entry command as
   follows:

        $ rpccp show entry /.:/LandS/anthro/pr_server_node3
