Using Registered RPC Programs

The RPC program numbers and protocol specifications of standard RPC services are in the header files in the /usr/include/rpcsvc directory.

The /etc/rpc file describes the RPC program numbers in text so that users can identify the number with the name. The names identified in the text can be used in place of RPC program numbers. These programs, however, constitute only a small subset of those that have been registered.

The following is a list of registered RPC programs including the program number, program name, and program description:
