.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm Portmap
|
|
|
|
|
is a server that converts
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn RPC
|
|
|
|
|
program numbers into
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn DARPA
|
|
|
|
|
protocol port numbers.
|
|
|
|
|
It must be running in order to make
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn RPC
|
|
|
|
|
calls.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
When an
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn RPC
|
|
|
|
|
server is started, it will tell
|

|
|
|
.Nm
|
1994-05-26 05:23:31 +00:00
|
|
|
what port number it is listening to, and what
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn RPC
|
|
|
|
|
program numbers it is prepared to serve.
|
|
|
|
|
When a client wishes to make an
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn RPC
|
|
|
|
|
call to a given program number,
|
|
|
|
|
it will first contact

|
|
|
.Nm
|
1994-05-26 05:23:31 +00:00
|
|
|
on the server machine to determine
|
|
|
|
|
the port number where
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn RPC
|
|
|
|
|
packets should be sent.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm Portmap

|
must be started before any
