NAME
       rpcinfo -- report RPC information

SYNOPSIS
       rpcinfo [-m | -s] [host]
       rpcinfo [host]
       rpcinfo -T transport host prognum [versnum]
       rpcinfo -l [-T transport] host prognum [versnum]
       rpcinfo [-n portnum] -u host prognum [versnum]
       rpcinfo [-n portnum] [-t] host prognum [versnum]
       rpcinfo -a serv_address -T transport prognum [versnum]
       rpcinfo -b [-T transport] prognum versnum
       rpcinfo -d [-T transport] prognum versnum

DESCRIPTION
       The rpcinfo utility makes an RPC	call to	an RPC server and reports what
       it finds.

       In  the	first  synopsis, rpcinfo lists all the registered RPC services
       with rpcbind on host.  If host is not specified,	the local host is  the
       default.	 If -s is used,	the information	is displayed in	a concise for-
       mat.

       In  the	second synopsis, rpcinfo lists all the RPC services registered
       with rpcbind, version 2.	 Also note that	the format of the  information
       is different in the first and the second	synopsis.  This	is because the
       second  synopsis	 is  an	older protocol used to collect the information
       displayed (version 2 of the rpcbind protocol).

       The third synopsis makes	an RPC call to	procedure  0  of  prognum  and
       versnum	on  the	 specified host	and reports whether a response was re-
       ceived.	transport is the transport which has to	be used	for contacting
       the given service.  The remote address of the service  is  obtained  by
       making a	call to	the remote rpcbind.

       The  prognum argument is	a number that represents an RPC	program	number
       If a versnum is specified, rpcinfo attempts to call that	version	of the
       specified prognum.  Otherwise, rpcinfo attempts to find all the	regis-
       tered  version  numbers for the specified prognum 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 in-
       stead, and attempts to call each	registered version.  Note: the version
       number is required for -b and -d	options.

OPTIONS
       -T transport
	       Specify	the  transport	on  which the service is required.  If
	       this option is not specified, rpcinfo uses the transport	speci-
	       fied in the NETPATH environment variable, or if that  is	 unset
	       or  empty,  the transport in the	netconfig(5) database is used.
	       This is a generic option, and can be used in  conjunction  with
	       other options as	shown in the "SYNOPSIS".

       -a serv_address
	       Use  serv_address as the	(universal) address for	the service on
	       transport to ping procedure 0 of	the specified prognum and  re-
	       port  whether  a	 response  was received.  The -T option	is re-
	       quired with the -a option.

	       If versnum is not specified, rpcinfo tries to ping  all	avail-
	       able  version  numbers  for  that  program number.  This	option
	       avoids calls to remote rpcbind to find the address of the  ser-
	       vice.   The serv_address	is specified in	universal address for-
	       mat of the given	transport.

       -b      Make an RPC broadcast to	procedure 0 of the  specified  prognum
	       and versnum and report all hosts	that respond.  If transport is
	       specified,  it  broadcasts  its	request	 only on the specified
	       transport.  If broadcasting is not supported by any  transport,
	       an  error  message  is  printed.	 Use of	broadcasting should be
	       limited because of the potential	for adverse  effect  on	 other
	       systems.

       -d      Delete  registration  for  the  RPC  service  of	 the specified
	       prognum and versnum.  If	transport is specified,	unregister the
	       service on only that transport, otherwise unregister  the  ser-
	       vice  on	 all  the transports on	which it was registered.  Only
	       the owner of a service can delete a  registration,  except  the
	       super-user who can delete any service.

       -l      Display	a  list	of entries with	a given	prognum	and versnum on
	       the specified host.  Entries are	returned for all transports in
	       the same	protocol family	as that	used  to  contact  the	remote
	       rpcbind.

       -m      Display	a  table  of  statistics  of rpcbind operations	on the
	       given host.  The	table shows statistics	for  each  version  of
	       rpcbind	(versions 2, 3 and 4), giving the number of times each
	       procedure was requested and successfully	serviced,  the	number
	       and  type  of remote call requests that were made, and informa-
	       tion about RPC address lookups that were	handled.  This is use-
	       ful for monitoring RPC activities on host.

       -n portnum
	       Use portnum as the port number for the -t and  -u  options  in-
	       stead  of the port number given by rpcbind.  Use	of this	option
	       avoids a	call to	the remote rpcbind to find out the address  of
	       the service.  This option is made obsolete by the -a option.

       -p      Probe  rpcbind on host using version 2 of the rpcbind protocol,
	       and display a list of all registered RPC	programs.  If host  is
	       not  specified, it defaults to the local	host.  Note: Version 2
	       of the rpcbind protocol was previously known as the  portmapper
	       protocol.

       -s      Display	a concise list of all registered RPC programs on host.
	       If host is not specified, it defaults to	the local host.

       -t      Make an RPC call	to procedure 0 of  prognum  on	the  specified
	       host  using  TCP,  and  report whether a	response was received.
	       This option is made obsolete by the -T option as	shown  in  the
	       third synopsis.

       -u      Make  an	 RPC  call  to procedure 0 of prognum on the specified
	       host using UDP, and report whether  a  response	was  received.
	       This  option  is	made obsolete by the -T	option as shown	in the
	       third synopsis.

EXAMPLES
       To show all of the RPC services registered on the local machine use:

	     example% rpcinfo

       To show all of the RPC services registered with rpcbind on the  machine
       named "klaxon" use:

	     example% rpcinfo klaxon

       The  information	 displayed by the above	commands can be	quite lengthy.
       Use the -s option to display a more concise list:

	     example$ rpcinfo -s klaxon

       program	 version(s)   netid(s)		       service	  owner
       100000	 2,3,4	      unix,tcp,udp,tcp6,udp6   rpcbind	  super-user
       100008	 1	      udp,tcp,udp6,tcp6	       walld	  super-user
       100002	 2,1	      udp,udp6		       rusersd	  super-user
       100001	 2,3,4	      udp,udp6		       rstatd	  super-user
       100012	 1	      udp,tcp		       sprayd	  super-user
       100007	 3	      udp,tcp		       ypbind	  super-user

       To show whether the RPC service with program number prognum and version
       versnum is registered on	the machine named "klaxon" for	the  transport
       TCP use:

	     example% rpcinfo -T tcp klaxon prognum versnum

       To  show	all RPC	services registered with version 2 of the rpcbind pro-
       tocol on	the local machine use:

	     example% rpcinfo -p

       To delete the registration for version 1	of the walld  (program	number
       100008) service for all transports use:

	     example# rpcinfo -d 100008	1
       or
	     example# rpcinfo -d walld 1
