RPC provides subroutines and macros for the following server management tasks:
| svcraw_create | Creates a sample RPC service handle for simulation. |
| svctcp_create | Creates a TCP/IP service transport handle. |
| svcudp_create | Creates a UDP/IP service transport handle. |
| svcfd_create | Creates a service on any open file descriptor. |
| svc_destroy | Destroys a service transport handle. |
| registerrpc | Registers a procedure with the RPC service. |
| xprt_register | Registers an RPC service transport handle. |
| xprt_unregister | Removes an RPC service transport handle. |
| svc_register | Maps a remote procedure. |
| svc_unregister | Removes mappings between procedures and objects. |
| svc_run | Signals a wait for the arrival of RPC requests. |
| svc_getreqset | Services an RPC request. |
| svc_getargs | Decodes the arguments of an RPC request. |
| svc_sendreply | Sends back the results of a remote procedure call. |
| svc_freeargs | Frees data allocated by the RPC and XDR system. |
| svc_getcaller | Gets the network address of the caller of a procedure. |
| svcerr_auth | Indicates that the remote procedure call cannot be completed due to an authentication error. |
| svcerr_decode | Indicates that the parameters of a request cannot be decoded. |
| svcerr_noproc | Indicates that the remote procedure call cannot be completed because the program cannot support the requested procedure. |
| svcerr_noprog | Indicates that the remote procedure call cannot be completed because the program is not registered. |
| svcerr_progvers | Indicates that the remote procedure call cannot be completed because the program version is not registered. |
| svcerr_systemerr | Indicates that the remote procedure call cannot be completed due to an error not covered by any protocol. |
| svcerr_weakauth | Indicates that the remote procedure call cannot be completed due to insufficient authentication security parameters. |
| host2netname | Converts a host name to a network name. |
| netname2host | Converts a network name to a host name. |
| netname2user | Converts a network name to a user ID. |
| user2netname | Converts a user ID to a network name. |
| getnetname | Installs the network name of the caller in the array. |
| get_myaddress | Gets the user's IP address. |
| getrpcent, getrpcbyname, getrpcbynumber, setrpcent, or endrpcent | |
| Accesses the /etc/rpc file. | |
| Accesses the /etc/rpc file. | |
| rtime | Returns the remote time in the timeval structure. |
| key_decryptsession | Decrypts a server network name and a DES key. |
| key_encryptsession | Encrypts a server network name and a DES key. |
| key_gendes | Requests a secure conversation key from the keyserv daemon. |
| key_setsecret | Sets the key for the user ID of the calling process. |
| pmap_getmaps | Returns a list of the current RPC port mappings. |
| pmap_getport | Requests the port number on which a service waits. |
| pmap_rmtcall | Instructs the portmap daemon to make an RPC. |
| pmap_set | Maps an RPC to a port. |
| pmap_unset | Destroys the mapping between the RPC and the port. |
| xdr_pmap | Describes parameters for portmap procedures. |
| xdr_pmaplist | Describes a list of port mappings externally. |
RPC provides subroutines for describing and encoding RPC call and reply messages, authentication, and port mappings:
