NAME
       getrpcent, getrpcbyname, getrpcbynumber - get RPC entry

SYNOPSIS
       #include <netdb.h>

       struct rpcent *getrpcent()

       struct rpcent *getrpcbyname(name)
       char *name;

       struct rpcent *getrpcbynumber(number)
       int number;

       setrpcent (stayopen)
       int stayopen;

       endrpcent ()

DESCRIPTION
       getrpcent(), getrpcbyname(), and getrpcbynumber() each return a pointer
       to an object with the following	structure  containing  the  broken-out
       fields of a line in the rpc program number data base, /etc/rpc.

	      struct	rpcent {
		   char *r_name;  /* name of server for this rpc program */
		   char **r_aliases;   /* alias list */
		   long r_number; /* rpc program number */
	      };

       The members of this structure are:
	      r_name		  The name of the server for this rpc program.
	      r_aliases		  A  zero  terminated  list of alternate names
				  for the rpc program.
	      r_number		  The rpc program number for this service.

       getrpcent() reads the next line of the file, opening the file if neces‐
       sary.

       setrpcent()  opens  and rewinds the file.  If the stayopen flag is non-
       zero, the net data base will not be closed after each  call  to	getrp‐
       cent()  (either	directly,  or  indirectly  through  one	 of  the other
       “getrpc” calls).

       endrpcent() closes the file.

       getrpcbyname() and getrpcbynumber() sequentially search from the begin‐
       ning of the file until a matching rpc program name or program number is
       found, or until end-of-file is encountered.

FILES
       /etc/rpc

CONFORMING TO
       Not in POSIX.1-2001.  Present on the BSDs, Solaris, and many other sys‐
       tems.

DIAGNOSTICS
       A NULL pointer is returned on EOF or error.

BUGS
       All  information	 is contained in a static area so it must be copied if
       it is to be saved.
