NAME
rpcinfo - report RPC information
SYNOPSIS
rpcinfo -p
[
host
]
rpcinfo -u
host
program
[
version
]
rpcinfo -t
host
program
[
version
]
rpcinfo -b
program
version
DESCRIPTION
rpcinfo
makes an
RPC
call to an
RPC
server and reports what it finds.
OPTIONS
- -p
-
Probe the portmapper on
host,
and print a list of all registered
RPC
programs. If
host
is not specified, it defaults to the value returned by
hostname(1).
- -u
-
Make an
RPC
call to procedure 0 of
program
on the specified
host
using
UDP,
and report whether a response was received.
- -t
-
Make an
RPC
call to procedure 0 of
program
on the specified
host
using
TCP,
and report whether a response was received.
- -b
-
Make an
RPC
broadcast to procedure 0 of the specified
program
and
version
using
UDP
and report all hosts that respond.
The
program
argument can be either a name or a number.
If a
version
is specified,
rpcinfo
attempts to call that version of the specified
program.
Otherwise,
rpcinfo
attempts to find all the registered version
numbers for the specified
program
by calling version 0 (which is presumed not
to exist; if it does exist,
rpcinfo
attempts to obtain this information by calling
an extremely high version
number instead) and attempts to call each registered version.
Note: the version number is required for the
-b
option.
EXAMPLES
To show all of the
RPC
services registered on the local machine use:
-
example% rpcinfo -p
To show all of the
RPC
services registered on the machine named
klaxon
use:
-
example% rpcinfo -p klaxon
To show all machines on the local net that are running the Yellow Pages
service use:
-
example% rpcinfo -b ypserv 'version' | uniq
where 'version' is the current Yellow Pages version obtained from the
results of the
-p
switch above.

BUGS
In releases prior to SunOS
3.0, the Network File System (NFS) did not
register itself with the
portmapper;
rpcinfo
cannot be used to make
RPC
calls to the
NFS
server on hosts running such releases.
