RPCINFO(8) BSD System Manager’s 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 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 −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.
