!!NAME


getrpcent, getrpcbyname, getrpcbynumber - get RPC entry
!!SYNOPSIS


__#include
__
!!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 necessary.


__getrpcent()__ opens and rewinds the file. If the
''stayopen'' flag is non-zero, the net data base will not
be closed after each call to __getrpcent()__ (either
directly, or indirectly through one of the other ``getrpc''
calls).


__endrpcent__ closes the file.


__getrpcbyname()__ and __getrpcbynumber()__
sequentially search from the beginning of the file until a
matching rpc program name or program number is found, or
until end-of-file is encountered.
