RPCINFO(8)		  BSD System Managers Manual		   RPCINFO(8)

NAME
     rpcinfo - report RPC information

SYNOPSIS
     rpcinfo -p [host]
     rpcinfo [-n portnum] -u host program [version]
     rpcinfo [-n portnum] -t host program [version]
     rpcinfo -b program version
     rpcinfo -d program version

DESCRIPTION
     rpcinfo makes an RPC call to an RPC server and reports what it finds.

OPTIONS
     -p      Probe the portmapper on host, and print a list of all registered
	     RPC programs.  If host is not specified, it defaults to the value
	     returned by hostname(1).

     -u      Make an RPC call to procedure 0 of program on the specified host
	     using UDP, and report whether a response was received.

     -t      Make an RPC call to procedure 0 of program on the specified host
	     using TCP, and report whether a response was received.

     -n      Use portnum as the port number for the -t and -u options instead
	     of the port number given by the portmapper.

     -b      Make an RPC broadcast to procedure 0 of the specified program and
	     version using UDP and report all hosts that respond.

     -d      Delete registration for the RPC service of the specified program
	     and version.  This option can be exercised only by the super-
	     user.

     The program argument can be either a name or a number.

     If a version is specified, rpcinfo attempts to call that version of the
     specified program.  Otherwise, rpcinfo attempts to find all the regis
     tered version numbers for the specified program by calling version 0
     (which is presumed not to exist; if it does exist, rpcinfo attempts to
     obtain this information by calling an extremely high version number
     instead) and attempts to call each registered version.  Note: the version
     number is required for -b and -d options.

EXAMPLES
     To show all of the RPC services registered on the local machine use:

	   example% rpcinfo -p

     To show all of the RPC services registered on the machine named klaxon
     use:

	   example% rpcinfo -p klaxon

     To show all machines on the local net that are running the Yellow Pages
     service use:

	   example% rpcinfo -b ypserv version | uniq

     where version is the current Yellow Pages version obtained from the
     results of the -p switch above.

     To delete the registration for version 1 of the walld service use:

	   example% rpcinfo -d walld 1

BUGS
     In releases prior to SunOS 3.0, the Network File System (NFS) did not
     register itself with the portmapper; rpcinfo cannot be used to make RPC
     calls to the NFS server on hosts running such releases.
