rpcinfo(NADM)
rpcinfo --
report RPC information
Syntax
rpcinfo -p [ host ]
rpcinfo [ -n portnum ]
-u host program
[ version ]
rpcinfo [ -n portnum ]
-t host program
[ version ]
rpcinfo -b 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(TC).
-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
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 registered 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 the -b option.
Examples
To show all of the RPC services registered on the
local machine use:
rpcinfo -p
To show all of the RPC services registered on the
machine named klaxon use:
rpcinfo -p klaxon
To show all machines on the local net which are running the
Network Information Service, use:
rpcinfo -b ypserv version | uniq
where version is the current Network Information
Service version obtained from the results of the
-p switch above.
Limitations
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.
