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  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.  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	regis‐
       tered  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  ver‐
       sion 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 service 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.
