22 __DESCRIPTION__
23
24
25 rpcinfo makes an RPC call to an
26 RPC server and reports what it
27 finds.
28 __OPTIONS__
29 -p Probe the portmapper on host, and print a list of allregistered RPC programs. If host is not specified,it defaults to the value returned by hostname
30 (1).
31
32
33 -u
34 Make an RPC call to procedure 0 of program on the specified host using UDP , and report whether a response was received.
35
36
37 -t
38 Make an RPC call to procedure 0 of program on
39 the specified host using TCP , and report
40 whether a response was received.
41
42
43 -n
44 Use portnum as the port number for the -t and -u options
45 instead of the port number given by the
46 portmapper.
47
48
49 -b
50 Make an RPC broadcast to procedure 0 of the
51 specified program and version using UDP and
52 report all hosts that respond.
53
54
55 -d
56 Delete registration for the RPC service of
57 the speci- fied program and version. This option can be
58 exer- cised only by the super-user.
59
60
61 The program argument can be either a name or a
62 number.
63
64
65 If a version is specified, rpcinfo attempts to call that
66 version of the specified program. Otherwise, rpcinfo
67 attempts to find all the registered version numbers for the
68 specified program by calling version 0 (which is presumed
69 not to exist; if it does exist, rpcinfo attempts to obtain
70 this information by calling an extremely high version number
71 instead) and attempts to call each registered version. Note:
72 the version number is required for -b and -d
73 options.
74
75
76 __EXAMPLES__
77
78
79 To show all of the RPC services registered on
80 the local machine use:
81
82
83 example% rpcinfo -p
84
85
86 To show all of the RPC services registered on
87 the machine named klaxon use:
88
89
90 example% rpcinfo -p klaxon
91
92
93 To show all machines on the local net that are running the
94 Yellow Pages service use:
95
96
97 example% rpcinfo -b ypserv 'version' |
98 uniq
99
100
101 where 'version' is the current Yellow Pages version obtained
102 from the results of the -p switch above.
103
104
105 To delete the registration for version 1 of the walld ser-
106 vice use:
107

115 __BUGS__
116
117
118 In releases prior to SunOS 3.0, the Network File System
119 (NFS) did not register itself with the portmapper; rpcinfo
120 cannot be used to make RPC calls to the
121 NFS server on hosts running such
122 releases.
