|
|
.Fn getrpcent ,
|
|
.Fn getrpcbyname ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn 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 data base,
|
|
.Pa /etc/rpc :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct rpcent {
|
|
char *r_name; /* name of server for this rpc program */
|
|
char **r_aliases; /* alias list */
|
|
long r_number; /* rpc program number */
|
|
};

The members of this structure are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width r_aliases -offset indent
|
|
.It r_name

flag is non-zero,

the net data base will not be closed after each call to

(either directly, or indirectly through one of

|
the other

|
program number is found, or until end-of-file is encountered.
