Header Files for Remote Procedure Call APIs

Programs using the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) APIs must include <rpc/rpc.h> and one or more additional header files that contain information needed by the functions, such as:

Macro definitions
Data type definitions
Structure definitions
Function prototypes

The header files are provided in the QSYSINC library, which is optionally installable. Make sure QSYSINC is on your system before compiling programs that use these header files. For information about installing the QSYSINC library, see Include files and the QSYSINC library.

The table below shows the file and member name in the QSYSINC library for each header file used by the TI-RPC APIs in the Information Center.

Name of Header File	Name of File in QSYSINC	Name of Member
netconfig.h ¹	H	NETCONFIG
netdir.h ²	H	NETDIR
tirpccom.h	H	TIRPCCOM
rpc/auth.h	RPC	AUTH
rpc/auth_sys.h	RPC	AUTH_SYS
rpc/auth_unix.h	RPC	AUTH_UNIX
rpc/clnt.h	RPC	CLNT
rpc/rpc.h	RPC	RPC
rpc/rpc_com.h	RPC	RPC_COM
rpc/rpc_msg.h	RPC	RPC_MSG
rpc/rpcb_clnt.h	RPC	RPCB_CLNT
rpc/rpcb_prot.h	RPC	RPCB_PROT
rpc/types.h	RPC	TYPES
rpc/svc.h	RPC	SVC
rpc/svc_auth.h	RPC	SVC_AUTH
rpc/xdr.h	RPC	XDR
Note: The member netconfig.h in the H file in the QSYSINC library is used by the Network Selection functions. The member netdir.h in the H file in the QSYSINC library is used by the Name-to-Address Translation functions.

You can display a header file in QSYSINC by using one of the following methods:

Using your editor. For example, to display the netconfig.h header file using the Source Entry Utility editor, enter the following command:
```
STRSEU SRCFILE(QSYSINC/H) SRCMBR(NETCONFIG) OPTION(5)
```
Using the Display Physical File Member command. For example, to display the rpc/rpc.h header file, enter the following command:
```
DSPPFM FILE(QSYSINC/RPC) MBR(RPC)
```

You can print a header file in QSYSINC by using one of the following methods:

Using your editor. For example, to print the netdir.h header file using the Source Entry Utility editor, enter the following command:
```
STRSEU SRCFILE(QSYSINC/H) SRCMBR(netdir) OPTION(6)
```
Using the Copy File command. For example, to print the rpc/rpc.h header file, enter the following command:
```
CPYF FROMFILE(QSYSINC/RPC) TOFILE(*PRINT) FROMMBR(RPC)
```
