      The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) library allows C programs to make
      procedure calls on other machines across the network.  First, the 
      client calls a procedure to send a data packet to the server.  Upon 
      receipt of the packet, the server calls a dispatch routine to 
      perform the requested service, and then sends back a reply.  
      Finally, the procedure call returns to the client.
      
      This demo is an example RPC client and server application.  The RPC
      client (rminfo) is a simple program to retrieve real memory usage 
      information from a host that has rpc.rminfod (the server daemon) 
      installed.

      How to use this RPC server & client on IRIX 4.0.x:
      
      1) change ID to root:
      
% su


      
      2) Edit /etc/rpc and change the last entry to read:
      
sgi_reserved    391063 rminfo


      
          (Note:  we're borrowing this number just for this demo.
           The entry is really reserved for SGI use only!)
      
      3) Copy the daemon to /usr/etc or some other system directory:
      
# cp rpc.rminfod /usr/etc


      
      4) Edit /usr/etc/inetd.conf, adding the following entry at the end of
         the file:
      
rminfo/1   dgram   rpc/udp wait   root   /usr/etc/rpc.rinfod   rminfod
      


      5) Notify inetd about the change:
      
# killall -HUP inetd


      
      6) Wait a minute or so for inetd to reread the file.
      
      7) Run the rminfo client:
      
# rminfo localhost

      Programming Guide.
