Alfred Perlstein 8360efbd6c Bring in a hybrid of SunSoft's transport-independent RPC (TI-RPC) and
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.

.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm bindresvport ,
.Nm bindresvport_sa
.Nd bind a socket to a privileged IP port
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
.Fd #include <rpc/rpc.h>
.Ft int
.Fn bindresvport "int sd" "struct sockaddr_in *sin"
.Ft int
.Fn bindresvport_sa "int sd" "struct sockaddr *sa"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn bindresvport
and
.Fn bindresvport_sa
are used to bind a socket descriptor to a privileged
.Tn IP
port, that is, a
port number in the range 0-1023.
.Pp
If
.Fa sin
is a pointer to a
.Ft "struct sockaddr_in"
then the appropriate fields in the structure should be defined.
Note that
.Fa sin->sin_family
must be initialized to the address family of the socket, passed by
.Fa sd .
If
.Fa sin->sin_port
is
.Sq 0
then an anonymous port (in the range 600-1023) will be
chosen, and if
.Xr bind 2
is successful, the
.Fa sin->sin_port
will be updated to contain the allocated port.
.Pp
If
.Fa sin
is the
.Dv NULL
pointer,
an anonymous port will be allocated (as above).
However, there is no way for
.Fn bindresvport
to return the allocated port in this case.
.Pp
Only root can bind to a privileged port; this call will fail for any
other users.
.Pp
Function prototype of
.Fn bindresvport
is biased to
.Dv AF_INET
socket.
.Fn bindresvport_sa
acts exactly the same, with more neutral function prototype.
Note that both functions behave exactly the same, and
both support
.Dv AF_INET6
sockets as well as
.Dv AF_INET
sockets.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Rv -std bindresvport
.Sh ERRORS
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EPFNOSUPPORT
If second argument was supplied,
and address family did not match between arguments.
.El
.Pp
.Fn bindresvport
may also fail and set
.Va errno
for any of the errors specified for the calls
.Xr bind 2 ,
.Xr getsockopt 2 ,
or
.Xr setsockopt 2 .
