It's been dead ever since it was imported from TI-RPC in 1995. The dead
code is still present in Illumos today, but was removed from NetBSD in 2006.

xstrdup. There is a crash() function that do cleaning before exiting the
program. The new functions are wrappers that make use of crash() in case
of allocation failure. warn, exit -> err.

- As before, inetd support support is turned of per default.
Code for inetd can be made with -I.
- Support for ``transport monitors'' and the NLSPROVIDER env
variable is still there , even if their use is not clear in
non TLI stream based systems like Free-/NetBSD. It can be activated
with -P.
- There are a few corrections in rpcgen.1 and usage function to conform
to the code. Added and documented -P
- I removed the #ifdefs checks for Free-/NetBSD since we are the only
ones who use this code. MaxOS X may have the same limitations as
we have, so this code will correctly build for them.
- Generate correct cflags.

associated changes that had to happen to make this possible as well as
bugs fixed along the way.
Bring in required TLI library routines to support this.
Since we don't support TLI we've essentially copied what NetBSD
has done, adding a thin layer to emulate direct the TLI calls
into BSD socket calls.
This is mostly from Sun's tirpc release that was made in 1994,
however some fixes were backported from the 1999 release (supposedly
only made available after this porting effort was underway).
The submitter has agreed to continue on and bring us up to the
1999 release.
Several key features are introduced with this update:
Client calls are thread safe. (1999 code has server side thread
safe)
Updated, a more modern interface.
Many userland updates were done to bring the code up to par with
the recent RPC API.
There is an update to the pthreads library, a function
pthread_main_np() was added to emulate a function of Sun's threads
library.
While we're at it, bring in NetBSD's lockd, it's been far too
long of a wait.
New rpcbind(8) replaces portmap(8) (supporting communication over
an authenticated Unix-domain socket, and by default only allowing
set and unset requests over that channel). It's much more secure
than the old portmapper.
Umount(8), mountd(8), mount_nfs(8), nfsd(8) have also been upgraded
to support TI-RPC and to support IPV6.
Umount(8) is also fixed to unmount pathnames longer than 80 chars,
which are currently truncated by the Kernel statfs structure.

Secure RPC implemented by: wpaul
Update rpcgen with the one from the TI-RPC 2.3 distribution.
Note that when built for FreeBSD, this version of rpcgen assumes
backwards compatibility mode by default. This means that it will produce
ONCRPC 4.0 compatible code unless otherwise instructed, instead of the
other way around.
One incompatibility has also been worked around: this rpcgen normally
always emits an '#include <stropts.h>' directive whether you select
backwards compatibility mode or not. We don't have STREAMS, so this
behavior has been changed: now it will only emit this line if run in TI-RPC
mode.
The 'generate output files in current directory instead of the
directory where the protocol definition file lives' hack from the
original rpcgen has been preserved.
Notable new features:
- Can be used to generate RPC servers that can be launched
from port monitors such as inetd(5).
- Can generate ANSI C code.
- Can generate sample client and server top-level programs and
makefiles in addition to the usual client and server stubs.
- Can generate inline XDR routines.
