RPCINFO(8)		     System Manager's Manual		      RPCINFO(8)

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 format.

     In the second synopsis, rpcinfo lists all the RPC services registered  with
     rpcbind,  version	2.  Also note that the format of the information is dif-
     ferent 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 received.
     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 speci-
     fied prognum.  Otherwise, rpcinfo attempts to find all the registered  ver-
     sion  numbers for the specified prognum by calling version 0, which is pre-
     sumed not to exist; if it does exist, rpcinfo attempts to obtain  this  in-
     formation by calling an extremely high version number instead, 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 specified 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 report
	     whether a response was received.  The -T option  is  required  with
	     the -a option.

	     If  versnum  is  not specified, rpcinfo tries to ping all available
	     version numbers for that program number.  This option avoids  calls
	     to  remote  rpcbind  to  find  the  address  of  the  service.  The
	     serv_address is specified in universal address format 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  speci-
	     fied,  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 service 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 (ver-
	     sions  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 information about RPC address
	     lookups that were handled.  This is useful for monitoring	RPC  ac-
	     tivities on host.

     -n portnum
	     Use portnum as the port number for the -t and -u options instead 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 protocol
     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
