rpc(4tcp)

rpc -- rpc program number data base

Synopsis

/etc/rpc

Description

The rpc program number database contains user readable names that can be used in place of RPC program numbers.

Files

/var/yp/domainname/rpc.bynumber: Corresponding NIS map containing program numbers and names of RPCs known to your system. Key is RPC program number.

Usage

Each line has the following information:

name of server for the RPC program
RPC program number
aliases

Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. A ``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.

When the Network Information Service (NIS) is in use, it references the NIS map rpc.bynumber on the NIS server instead of /etc/rpc.
