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 database, /etc/rpc:
struct rpcent { char *r_name; /* name of server for this rpc program */ char **r_aliases; /* alias list */ int r_number; /* rpc program number */ };
The members of this structure are:
getrpcent
()
reads the next line of the file, opening the file if necessary.
setrpcent
()
opens and rewinds the file. If the stayopen flag is
non-zero, the net database 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.
/etc/rpc
A NULL
pointer is returned on
EOF
or error.
All information is contained in a static area so it must be copied if it is to be saved.
