rpcinfo
Manual Pagerpcinfo - report RPC information
rpcinfo -p [ host ]
rpcinfo [ -n portnum ] -u host program [ version ]
rpcinfo [ -n portnum ] -t host program [ version ]
rpcinfo -b program version
rpcinfo -d program version
rpcinfo
makes an RPC call to an RPC server and reports what it finds.
-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 gethostname()
.
-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.
-n
Use portnum
as the port number for the -t
and -u
options instead of the port number given by the portmapper.
-b
Make an RPC broadcast to procedure 0 of the specified program and version using UDP and report all hosts that respond.
-d
Delete registration for the RPC service of the specified program and
version. This option can be exercised only by the superuser. 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 -b and -d options.
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.
To delete the registration for version 1 of the walld
service use:
example% rpcinfo -d walld 1
