|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getrpcent ,
|
|
.Fn getrpcbyname ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getrpcbynumber
|
|
functions each return a pointer to an object with the
|
|
following structure
|
|
containing the broken-out
|
|
fields of a line in the rpc program number data base,
|
|
.Pa /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 */
|

};

|
.Fn getrpcent
|
|
function reads the next line of the file, opening the file if necessary.

The
|
|
.Nm getrpcent
|
|
function opens and rewinds the file. If the
|
|
.Fa stayopen
|
|
flag is non-zero,
|
|
the net data base will not be closed after each call to
|
|
.Fn getrpcent
|
|
(either directly, or indirectly through one of
|
|
the other
|
|
.Fn getrpcent
|
