GETRPCENT(3N)					    GETRPCENT(3N)

NAME
       getrpcent, getrpcbyname, getrpcbynumber, setrpcent, endrp-
       cent - get RPC entry

SYNOPSIS
       #include <netdb.h>

       struct rpcent *getrpcent()

       struct rpcent *getrpcbyname(name)
       char *name;

       struct rpcent *getrpcbynumber(number)
       int number;

       setrpcent (stayopen)
       int stayopen

       endrpcent ()

DESCRIPTION
       getrpcent(),  getrpcbyname(),  and  getrpcbynumber()  each
       return a pointer to an object with the following structure
       containing the broken-out fields of a line in the rpc pro-
       gram number data base, /etc/rpc.

	      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:
	      r_name		  The name of the server for this
				  rpc program.
	      r_aliases		  A  zero  terminated	list   of
				  alternate  names  for	 the  rpc
				  program.
	      r_number		  The rpc program number for this
				  service.

       getrpcent()  reads  the next line of the file, opening the
       file if necessary.

       getrpcent() opens and rewinds the file.	If  the	 stayopen
       flag  is	 non-zero,  the	 net data base will not be closed
       after each call to getrpcent() (either directly, or  indi-
       rectly through one of the other "getrpc" calls).

       endrpcent closes the file.

       getrpcbyname()  and  getrpcbynumber()  sequentially search
       from the beginning of the file until a matching	rpc  pro-
       gram name or program number is found, or until end-of-file
