10 rpc - library routines for remote procedure calls
11 !!SYNOPSIS AND DESCRIPTION
12
13
14 These routines allow C programs to make procedure calls on
15 other machines across the network. First, the client calls a
16 procedure to send a data packet to the server. Upon receipt
17 of the packet, the server calls a dispatch routine to
18 perform the requested service, and then sends back a reply.
19 Finally, the procedure call returns to the
20 client.
21
22
23 Routines that are used for Secure RPC (DES authentication)
24 are described in __rpc_secure__(3N). Secure RPC can be
25 used only if DES encryption is available.

30
31
32 void
33 auth_destroy(auth)
34 AUTH *auth;
35
36
37 A macro that destroys the authentication information
38 associated with ''auth''. Destruction usually involves
39 deallocation of private data structures. The use of
40 ''auth'' is undefined after calling
41 __auth_destroy()__.
42
43
44 __AUTH *
45 authnone_create()
46 __
47
48
49 Create and returns an RPC authentication
50 handle that passes nonusable authentication information with
51 each remote procedure call. This is the default
52 authentication used by RPC.
53
54
55 __AUTH__ __*
56 authunix_create(host, uid, gid, len, aup_gids)
57 char *host;
58 int uid, gid, len, *aup.gids;
59 __
60
61
62 Create and return an RPC authentication
63 handle that contains authentication information. The
64 parameter ''host'' is the name of the machine on which
65 the information was created; ''uid'' is the user's user
66 ID ; ''gid'' is the user's current group
67 ID ; ''len'' and ''aup_gids'' refer to
68 a counted array of groups to which the user belongs. It is
69 easy to impersonate a user.
70
71
72 __AUTH *
73 authunix_create_default()
74 __
75
76
77 Calls __authunix_create()__ with the appropriate
78 parameters.
79
80
81 __callrpc(host, prognum, versnum, procnum, inproc, in, outproc, out)
82 char *host;
83 u_long prognum, versnum, procnum;
84 char *in, *out;
85 xdrproc_t inproc, outproc;
86 __
87
88
89 Call the remote procedure associated with ''prognum'',
90 ''versnum'', and ''procnum'' on the machine,
91 ''host''. The parameter ''in'' is the address of the
92 procedure's argument(s), and ''out'' is the address of
93 where to place the result(s); ''inproc'' is used to
94 encode the procedure's parameters, and ''outproc'' is
95 used to decode the procedure's results. This routine returns
96 zero if it succeeds, or the value of __enum clnt_stat__
97 cast to an integer if it fails. The routine
98 __clnt_perrno()__ is handy for translating failure
99 statuses into messages.
100
101
102 Warning: calling remote procedures with this routine uses
103 UDP/IP as a transport; see
104 __clntudp_create()__ for restrictions. You do not have
105 control of timeouts or authentication using this
106 routine.
107
108
109 __enum clnt_stat
110 clnt_broadcast(prognum, versnum, procnum, inproc, in, outproc, out, eachresult)
111 u_long prognum, versnum, procnum;
112 char *in, *out;
113 xdrproc_t inproc, outproc;
114 resultproc_t eachresult;
115 __
116
117
118 Like __callrpc()__, except the call message is broadcast
119 to all locally connected broadcast nets. Each time it
120 receives a response, this routine calls __eachresult()__,
121 whose form is:
122
123
124 __eachresult(out, addr)
125 char *out;
126 struct sockaddr_in *addr;
127 __
128
129
130 where ''out'' is the same as ''out'' passed to
131 __clnt_broadcast()__, except that the remote procedure's
132 output is decoded there; ''addr'' points to the address
133 of the machine that sent the results. If __eachresult()__
134 returns zero, __clnt_broadcast()__ waits for more
135 replies; otherwise it returns with appropriate
136 status.
137
138
139 Warning: broadcast sockets are limited in size to the
140 maximum transfer unit of the data link. For ethernet, this
141 value is 1500 bytes.
142
143
144 __enum clnt_stat
145 clnt_call(clnt, procnum, inproc, in, outproc, out, tout)
146 CLIENT *clnt;
147 u_long
148 procnum;
149 xdrproc_t inproc, outproc;
150 char *in, *out;
151 struct timeval tout;
152 __
153
154
155 A macro that calls the remote procedure ''procnum''
156 associated with the client handle, ''clnt'', which is
157 obtained with an RPC client creation routine
158 such as __clnt_create()__. The parameter ''in'' is the
159 address of the procedure's argument(s), and ''out'' is
160 the address of where to place the result(s); ''inproc''
161 is used to encode the procedure's parameters, and
162 ''outproc'' is used to decode the procedure's results;
163 ''tout'' is the time allowed for results to come
164 back.
165
166
167 __clnt_destroy(clnt)
168 CLIENT *clnt;
169 __
170
171
172 A macro that destroys the client's RPC
173 handle. Destruction usually involves deallocation of private
174 data structures, including ''clnt'' itself. Use of
175 ''clnt'' is undefined after calling
176 __clnt_destroy()__. If the RPC library
177 opened the associated socket, it will close it also.
178 Otherwise, the socket remains open.
179
180
181 __CLIENT *
182 clnt_create(host, prog, vers, proto)
183 char *host;
184 u_long prog, vers;
185 char *proto;
186 __
187
188
189 Generic client creation routine. ''host'' identifies the
190 name of the remote host where the server is located.
191 ''proto'' indicates which kind of transport protocol to
192 use. The currently supported values for this field are
193 ``udp'' and ``tcp''. Default timeouts are set, but can be
194 modified using __clnt_control()__.
195
196
197 Warning: Using UDP has its shortcomings.
198 Since UDP -based RPC messages
199 can only hold up to 8 Kbytes of encoded data, this transport
200 cannot be used for procedures that take large arguments or
201 return huge results.
202
203
204 __bool_t
205 clnt_control(cl, req, info)
206 CLIENT *cl;
207 char *info;
208 __
209
210
211 A macro used to change or retrieve various information about
212 a client object. ''req'' indicates the type of operation,
213 and ''info'' is a pointer to the information. For both
214 UDP and TCP , the supported
215 values of ''req'' and their argument types and what they
216 do are:
217
218
219 CLSET_TIMEOUT struct timeval set total timeout
220 CLGET_TIMEOUT struct timeval get total timeout
221 Note: if you set the timeout using __clnt_control()__, the timeout parameter passed to __clnt_call()__ will be ignored in all future calls.
222
223
224 CLGET_SERVER_ADDR struct sockaddr_in get server's address
225 The following operations are valid for UDP only:
226
227
228 CLSET_RETRY_TIMEOUT struct timeval set the retry timeout
229 CLGET_RETRY_TIMEOUT struct timeval get the retry timeout
230 The retry timeout is the time that UDP RPC waits for the server to reply before retransmitting the request.
231
232
233 __clnt_freeres(clnt, outproc, out)
234 CLIENT *clnt;
235 xdrproc_t outproc;
236 char *out;
237 __
238
239
240 A macro that frees any data allocated by the
241 RPC/XDR system when it decoded the results of
242 an RPC call. The parameter ''out'' is the
243 address of the results, and ''outproc'' is the
244 XDR routine describing the results. This
245 routine returns one if the results were successfully freed,
246 and zero otherwise.
247
248
249 __void
250 clnt_geterr(clnt, errp)
251 CLIENT *clnt;
252 struct rpc_err *errp;
253 __
254
255
256 A macro that copies the error structure out of the client
257 handle to the structure at address ''errp''.
258
259
260 __void
261 clnt_pcreateerror(s)
262 char *s;
263 __
264
265
266 Print a message to standard error indicating why a client
267 RPC handle could not be created. The message
268 is prepended with string ''s'' and a colon. Used when a
269 __clnt_create()__, __clntraw_create()__,
270 __clnttcp_create()__, or __clntudp_create()__ call
271 fails.
272
273
274 __void
275 clnt_perrno(stat)
276 enum clnt_stat stat;
277 __
278
279
280 Print a message to standard error corresponding to the
281 condition indicated by ''stat''. Used after
282 __callrpc()__.
283
284
285 __clnt_perror(clnt, s)
286 CLIENT *clnt;
287 char *s;
288 __
289
290
291 Print a message to standard error indicating why an
292 RPC call failed; ''clnt'' is the handle
293 used to do the call. The message is prepended with string
294 ''s'' and a colon. Used after
295 __clnt_call()__.
296
297
298 __char *
299 clnt_spcreateerror
300 char *s;
301 __
302
303
304 Like __clnt_pcreateerror()__, except that it returns a
305 string instead of printing to the standard
306 error.
307
308
309 Bugs: returns pointer to static data that is overwritten on
310 each call.
311
312
313 __char *
314 clnt_sperrno(stat)
315 enum clnt_stat stat;
316 __
317
318
319 Take the same arguments as __clnt_perrno()__, but instead
320 of sending a message to the standard error indicating why an
321 RPC call failed, return a pointer to a string
322 which contains the message. The string ends with a
323 NEWLINE .
324
325
326 __clnt_sperrno()__ is used instead of
327 __clnt_perrno()__ if the program does not have a standard
328 error (as a program running as a server quite likely does
329 not), or if the programmer does not want the message to be
330 output with __printf__, or if a message format different
331 than that supported by __clnt_perrno()__ is to be used.
332 Note: unlike __clnt_sperror()__ and
333 __clnt_spcreaterror()__, __clnt_sperrno()__ returns
334 pointer to static data, but the result will not get
335 overwritten on each call.
336
337
338 __char *
339 clnt_sperror(rpch, s)
340 CLIENT *rpch;
341 char *s;
342 __
343
344
345 Like __clnt_perror()__, except that (like
346 __clnt_sperrno()__) it returns a string instead of
347 printing to standard error.
348
349
350 Bugs: returns pointer to static data that is overwritten on
351 each call.
352
353
354 __CLIENT *
355 clntraw_create(prognum, versnum)
356 u_long prognum, versnum;
357 __
358
359
360 This routine creates a toy RPC client for the
361 remote program ''prognum'', version ''versnum''. The
362 transport used to pass messages to the service is actually a
363 buffer within the process's address space, so the
364 corresponding RPC server should live in the
365 same address space; see __svcraw_create()__. This allows
366 simulation of RPC and acquisition of
367 RPC overheads, such as round trip times,
368 without any kernel interference. This routine returns
369 NULL if it fails.
370
371
372 __CLIENT *
373 clnttcp_create(addr, prognum, versnum, sockp, sendsz, recvsz)
374 struct sockaddr_in *addr;
375 u_long prognum, versnum;
376 int *sockp;
377 u_int sendsz, recvsz;
378 __
379
380
381 This routine creates an RPC client for the
382 remote program ''prognum'', version ''versnum''; the
383 client uses TCP/IP as a transport. The remote
384 program is located at Internet address ''*addr''. If
385 __addr-__ is zero, then it is set to the
386 actual port that the remote program is listening on (the
387 remote __portmap__ service is consulted for this
388 information). The parameter ''sockp'' is a socket; if it
389 is __RPC_ANYSOCK__ , then this routine
390 opens a new one and sets ''sockp''. Since
391 TCP -based RPC uses buffered
392 I/O , the user may specify the size of the
393 send and receive buffers with the parameters ''sendsz''
394 and ''recvsz''; values of zero choose suitable defaults.
395 This routine returns NULL if it
396 fails.
397
398
399 __CLIENT *
400 clntudp_create(addr, prognum, versnum, wait, sockp)
401 struct sockaddr_in *addr;
402 u_long prognum, versnum;
403 struct timeval wait;
404 int *sockp;
405 __
406
407
408 This routine creates an RPC client for the
409 remote program ''prognum'', version ''versnum''; the
410 client uses use UDP/IP as a transport. The
411 remote program is located at Internet address ''addr''.
412 If __addr-__ is zero, then it is set to
413 actual port that the remote program is listening on (the
414 remote __portmap__ service is consulted for this
415 information). The parameter ''sockp'' is a socket; if it
416 is __RPC_ANYSOCK__ , then this routine
417 opens a new one and sets ''sockp''. The
418 UDP transport resends the call message in
419 intervals of __wait__ time until a response is received
420 or until the call times out. The total time for the call to
421 time out is specified by __clnt_call()__.
422
423
424 Warning: since UDP -based RPC
425 messages can only hold up to 8 Kbytes of encoded data, this
426 transport cannot be used for procedures that take large
427 arguments or return huge results.
428
429
430 __CLIENT *
431 clntudp_bufcreate(addr, prognum, versnum, wait, sockp, sendsize, recosize)
432 struct sockaddr_in *addr;
433 u_long prognum, versnum;
434 struct timeval wait;
435 int *sockp;
436 unsigned int sendsize;
437 unsigned int recosize;
438 __
439
440
441 This routine creates an RPC client for the
442 remote program ''prognum'', on ''versnum''; the client
443 uses use UDP/IP as a transport. The remote
444 program is located at Internet address ''addr''. If
445 __addr-__ is zero, then it is set to actual
446 port that the remote program is listening on (the remote
447 __portmap__ service is consulted for this information).
448 The parameter ''sockp'' is a socket; if it is
449 __RPC_ANYSOCK__ , then this routine opens
450 a new one and sets __sockp__. The UDP
451 transport resends the call message in intervals of
452 __wait__ time until a response is received or until the
453 call times out. The total time for the call to time out is
454 specified by __clnt_call()__.
455
456
457 This allows the user to specify the maximun packet size for
458 sending and receiving UDP -based
459 RPC messages.
460
461
462 __void
463 get_myaddress(addr)
464 struct sockaddr_in *addr;
465 __
466
467
468 Stuff the machine's IP address into
469 ''*addr'', without consulting the library routines that
470 deal with __/etc/hosts__. The port number is always set
471 to __htons( PMAPPORT )__.
472
473
474 __struct pmaplist *
475 pmap_getmaps(addr)
476 struct sockaddr_in *addr;
477 __
478
479
480 A user interface to the __portmap__ service, which
481 returns a list of the current RPC
482 program-to-port mappings on the host located at
483 IP address ''*addr''. This routine can
484 return NULL . The command `__rpcinfo -p__'
485 uses this routine.

488 __u_short
489 pmap_getport(addr, prognum, versnum, protocol)
490 struct sockaddr_in *addr;
491 u_long prognum, versnum, protocol;
492 __
493
494
495 A user interface to the __portmap__ service, which
496 returns the port number on which waits a service that
497 supports program number ''prognum'', version
498 ''versnum'', and speaks the transport protocol associated
499 with ''protocol''. The value of ''protocol'' is most
500 likely __IPPROTO_UDP__ or
501 __IPPROTO_TCP__ . A return value of zero
502 means that the mapping does not exist or that the
503 RPC system failured to contact the remote
504 __portmap__ service. In the latter case, the global
505 variable __rpc_createerr()__ contains the
506 RPC status.
507

517 __
518
519
520 A user interface to the __portmap__ service, which
521 instructs __portmap__ on the host at IP
522 address ''*addr'' to make an RPC call on
523 your behalf to a procedure on that host. The parameter
524 ''*portp'' will be modified to the program's port number
525 if the procedure succeeds. The definitions of other
526 parameters are discussed in __callrpc()__ and
527 __clnt_call()__. This procedure should be used for a
528 ``ping'' and nothing else. See also
529 __clnt_broadcast()__.

532 __pmap_set(prognum, versnum, protocol, port)
533 u_long prognum, versnum, protocol;
534 u_short port;
535 __
536
537
538 A user interface to the __portmap__ service, which
539 establishes a mapping between the triple
540 [[''prognum'',''versnum'',''protocol''] and
541 ''port'' on the machine's __portmap__ service. The
542 value of ''protocol'' is most likely
543 __IPPROTO_UDP__ or
544 __IPPROTO_TCP__ . This routine returns one
545 if it succeeds, zero otherwise. Automatically done by
546 __svc_register()__.
547
548
549 __pmap_unset(prognum, versnum)
550 u_long prognum, versnum;
551 __
552

554 A user interface to the __portmap__ service, which
555 destroys all mapping between the triple
556 [[''prognum'',''versnum'',''*''] and __ports__ on
557 the machine's __portmap__ service. This routine returns
558 one if it succeeds, zero otherwise.

564 xdrproc_t inproc, outproc;
565 __
566
567
568 Register procedure ''procname'' with the
569 RPC service package. If a request arrives for
570 program ''prognum'', version ''versnum'', and
571 procedure ''procnum'', ''procname'' is called with a
572 pointer to its parameter(s); ''progname'' should return a
573 pointer to its static result(s); ''inproc'' is used to
574 decode the parameters while ''outproc'' is used to encode
575 the results. This routine returns zero if the registration
576 succeeded, -1 otherwise.
577
578
579 Warning: remote procedures registered in this form are
580 accessed using the UDP/IP transport; see
581 __svcudp_create()__ for restrictions.
582
583
584 __struct rpc_createerr rpc_createerr;
585 __
586
587
588 A global variable whose value is set by any
589 RPC client creation routine that does not
590 succeed. Use the routine __clnt_pcreateerror()__ to print
591 the reason why.
592
593
594 __svc_destroy(xprt)
595 SVCXPRT *
596 xprt;
597 __
598
599
600 A macro that destroys the RPC service
601 transport handle, ''xprt''. Destruction usually involves
602 deallocation of private data structures, including
603 ''xprt'' itself. Use of ''xprt'' is undefined after
604 calling this routine.
605
606
607 __fd_set svc_fdset;
608 __
609
610
611 A global variable reflecting the RPC service
612 side's read file descriptor bit mask; it is suitable as a
613 parameter to the __select__ system call. This is only of
614 interest if a service implementor does not call
615 __svc_run()__, but rather does his own asynchronous event
616 processing. This variable is read-only (do not pass its
617 address to __select__!), yet it may change after calls to
618 __svc_getreqset()__ or any creation
619 routines.
620
621
622 __int svc_fds;
623 __
624
625
626 Similar to __svc_fdset__, but limited to 32 descriptors.

635 __
636
637
638 A macro that frees any data allocated by the
639 RPC/XDR system when it decoded the arguments
640 to a service procedure using __svc_getargs()__. This
641 routine returns 1 if the results were successfully freed,
642 and zero otherwise.

645 __svc_getargs(xprt, inproc, in)
646 SVCXPRT *xprt;
647 xdrproc_t inproc;

649 __
650
651
652 A macro that decodes the arguments of an RPC
653 request associated with the RPC service
654 transport handle, ''xprt''. The parameter ''in'' is
655 the address where the arguments will be placed;
656 ''inproc'' is the XDR routine used to
657 decode the arguments. This routine returns one if decoding
658 succeeds, and zero otherwise.

663 SVCXPRT *xprt;
664 __
665
666
667 The approved way of getting the network address of the
668 caller of a procedure associated with the RPC
669 service transport handle, ''xprt''.
670
671
672 __svc_getreqset(rdfds)
673 fd_set *rdfds;
674 __
675
676
677 This routine is only of interest if a service implementor
678 does not call __svc_run()__, but instead implements
679 custom asynchronous event processing. It is called when the
680 __select__ system call has determined that an
681 RPC request has arrived on some
682 RPC __socket(s) ;__ ''rdfds'' is the
683 resultant read file descriptor bit mask. The routine returns
684 when all sockets associated with the value of ''rdfds''
685 have been serviced.
686
687
688 __svc_getreq(rdfds)
689 int rdfds;
690 __
691
692
693 Similar to __svc_getreqset()__, but limited to 32
694 descriptors. This interface is obsoleted by
695 __svc_getreqset()__.
696
697
698 __svc_register(xprt, prognum, versnum, dispatch, protocol)
699 SVCXPRT *xprt;
700 u_long prognum, versnum;
701 void (*dispatch) ();
702 u_long protocol;
703 __
704
705
706 Associates ''prognum'' and ''versnum'' with the
707 service dispatch procedure, ''dispatch''. If
708 ''protocol'' is zero, the service is not registered with
709 the __portmap__ service. If ''protocol'' is non-zero,
710 then a mapping of the triple
711 [[''prognum'',''versnum'',''protocol''] to
712 __xprt-__ is established with the local
713 __portmap__ service (generally ''protocol'' is zero,
714 __IPPROTO_UDP__ or
715 __IPPROTO_TCP__ ). The procedure
716 ''dispatch'' has the following form:
717
718
719 __dispatch(request, xprt)
720 struct svc_req *request;
721 SVCXPRT *xprt;
722 __
723
724
725 The __svc_register()__ routine returns one if it
726 succeeds, and zero otherwise.
727
728
729 __svc_run()
730 __
731
732
733 This routine never returns. It waits for RPC
734 requests to arrive, and calls the appropriate service
735 procedure using __svc_getreq()__ when one arrives. This
736 procedure is usually waiting for a __select()__ system
737 call to return.
738
739
740 __svc_sendreply(xprt, outproc, out)
741 SVCXPRT *xprt;
742 xdrproc_t outproc;
743 char *out;
744 __
745
746
747 Called by an RPC service's dispatch routine
748 to send the results of a remote procedure call. The
749 parameter ''xprt'' is the request's associated transport
750 handle; ''outproc'' is the XDR routine
751 which is used to encode the results; and ''out'' is the
752 address of the results. This routine returns one if it
753 succeeds, zero otherwise.
754
755
756 __void
757 svc_unregister(prognum, versnum)
758 u_long prognum, versnum;
759 __
760
761
762 Remove all mapping of the double
763 [[''prognum'',''versnum''] to dispatch routines, and of
764 the triple [[''prognum'',''versnum'',''*''] to port
765 number.
766
767
768 __void
769 svcerr_auth(xprt, why)
770 SVCXPRT *xprt;
771 enum auth_stat why;
772 __
773
774
775 Called by a service dispatch routine that refuses to perform
776 a remote procedure call due to an authentication
777 error.
778
779
780 __void
781 svcerr_decode(xprt)
782 SVCXPRT *xprt;
783 __
784
785
786 Called by a service dispatch routine that cannot
787 successfully decode its parameters. See also
788 __svc_getargs()__.
789
790
791 __void
792 svcerr_noproc(xprt)
793 SVCXPRT *xprt;
794 __
795
796
797 Called by a service dispatch routine that does not implement
798 the procedure number that the caller requests.
799
800
801 __void
802 svcerr_noprog(xprt)
803 SVCXPRT *xprt;
804 __
805
806
807 Called when the desired program is not registered with the
808 RPC package. Service implementors usually do
809 not need this routine.
810
811
812 __void
813 svcerr_progvers(xprt)
814 SVCXPRT *xprt;
815 __
816
817
818 Called when the desired version of a program is not
819 registered with the RPC package. Service
820 implementors usually do not need this routine.
821
822
823 __void
824 svcerr_systemerr(xprt)
825 SVCXPRT *xprt;
826 __
827
828
829 Called by a service dispatch routine when it detects a
830 system error not covered by any particular protocol. For
831 example, if a service can no longer allocate storage, it may
832 call this routine.
833
834
835 __void
836 svcerr_weakauth(xprt)
837 SVCXPRT *xprt;
838 __
839
840
841 Called by a service dispatch routine that refuses to perform
842 a remote procedure call due to insufficient authentication
843 parameters. The routine calls __svcerr_auth(xprt,
844 AUTH_TOOWEAK )__.
845
846
847 __SVCXPRT *
848 svcraw_create()
849 __
850
851
852 This routine creates a toy RPC service
853 transport, to which it returns a pointer. The transport is
854 really a buffer within the process's address space, so the
855 corresponding RPC client should live in the
856 same address space; see __clntraw_create()__. This
857 routine allows simulation of RPC and
858 acquisition of RPC overheads (such as round
859 trip times), without any kernel interference. This routine
860 returns NULL if it fails.
861
862
863 __SVCXPRT *
864 svctcp_create(sock, send_buf_size, recv_buf_size)
865 int sock;
866 u_int send_buf_size, recv_buf_size;
867 __
868
869
870 This routine creates a TCP/IP -based
871 RPC service transport, to which it returns a
872 pointer. The transport is associated with the socket
873 ''sock'', which may be __RPC_ANYSOCK__
874 , in which case a new socket is created. If the socket is
875 not bound to a local TCP port, then this
876 routine binds it to an arbitrary port. Upon completion,
877 __xprt-__ is the transport's socket
878 descriptor, and __xprt-__ is the transport's
879 port number. This routine returns NULL if it
880 fails. Since TCP -based RPC
881 uses buffered I/O , users may specify the
882 size of buffers; values of zero choose suitable
883 defaults.
884
885
886 __SVCXPRT *
887 svcfd_create(fd, sendsize, recvsize)
888 int fd;
889 u_int sendsize;
890 u_int recvsize;
891 __
892
893
894 Create a service on top of any open descriptor. Typically,
895 this descriptor is a connected socket for a stream protocol
896 such as TCP . ''sendsize'' and
897 ''recvsize'' indicate sizes for the send and receive
898 buffers. If they are zero, a reasonable default is
899 chosen.
900
901
902 __SVCXPRT *
903 svcudp_bufcreate(sock, sendsize, recosize)
904 int sock;
905 __
906
907
908 This routine creates a UDP/IP -based
909 RPC service transport, to which it returns a
910 pointer. The transport is associated with the socket
911 ''sock'', which may be __RPC_ANYSOCK
912 ,__ in which case a new socket is created. If the socket
913 is not bound to a local UDP port, then this
914 routine binds it to an arbitrary port. Upon completion,
915 __xprt-__ is the transport's socket
916 descriptor, and __xprt-__ is the transport's
917 port number. This routine returns NULL if it
918 fails.
919
920
921 This allows the user to specify the maximun packet size for
922 sending and receiving UDP -based RPC
923 messages.
