svc_reg()--Associate Program and Version with Dispatch

Syntax

 #include <rpc/rpc.h>
 #include <netconfig.h>

 bool_t svc_reg(const SVCXPRT *xprt,
             const u_long prognum,
             const u_long versnum,
             const void (*dispatch)(const svc_req *,
                 const SVCXPRT *),
             const struct netconfig *netconf);

  Service Program Name: QZNFTRPC

  Default Public Authority: *USE

  Threadsafe: No

The svc_reg() API associates prognum and versnum with the service dispatch procedure dispatch. If netconf is NULL, the service is not registered with the RPC service package (RPCBind). If netconf is non-null, then a mapping of the triple (prognum, versnum, netconf->nc_netid) to xprt->xp_ltaddr is established with the local RPCBind service.

Parameters

xprt (I/O): A pointer to a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service transport handle.
prognum (Input): The program number of the remote program.
versnum (Input): The version number of the remote program.
dispatch (Input): The server dispatch function.
netconf (Input): The transport protocol.

Authorities

The caller of the svc_reg() API must have execute (*X) authority to the /etc directory and must have read (*R) authority to the netconfig file.

Return Value

TRUE (1)

svc_reg() was successful.

FALSE (0)

svc_reg() was not successful. The errno variable is set to indicate the reason.

Error Conditions

This API calls the setnetconfig() and getnetconfig() functions in order to perform its task. The API inherits all error conditions from those functions. It also calls rpcb_set() for registering in RPCBind inheriting all error conditions from the API, except RPC_UNKNOWNPROTO.

[EINVAL]

Attempt to register a dispatcher with prognum and versnum, which are already used by another dispatcher.

[EALREADY]

Attempting to register a service which is already registered.
