Fl p
Probe the portmapper on
host ,
and print a list of all registered
RPC
programs. If
host
is not specified, it defaults to the value returned by
hostname 1 .
Fl u
Make an
RPC
call to procedure 0 of
program
on the specified
host
using
UDP ,
and report whether a response was received.
Fl t
Make an
RPC
call to procedure 0 of
program
on the specified
host
using
TCP ,
and report whether a response was received.
Fl n
Use
portnum
as the port number for the
t
and
u
options instead of the port number given by the portmapper.
Fl b
Make an
RPC
broadcast to procedure 0 of the specified
program
and
version
using
UDP
and report all hosts that respond.
Fl d
Delete registration for the
RPC
service of the specified
program
and
version .
This option can be exercised only by the super-user.
The
program
argument can be either a name or a number.
If a
version
is specified,
rpcinfo
attempts to call that version of the specified
program .
Otherwise,
rpcinfo
attempts to find all the registered version
numbers for the specified
program
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 instead) and attempts to call each registered version.
Note: the version number is required for
b
and
d
options.
To show all of the
RPC
services registered on the local machine use:
example% rpcinfo -p
To show all of the
RPC
services registered on the machine named
klaxon
use:
example% rpcinfo -p klaxon
To show all machines on the local net that are running the Yellow Pages
service use:
example% rpcinfo -b ypserv 'version' | uniq
where 'version' is the current Yellow Pages version obtained from the
results of the
p
switch above.
To delete the registration for version 1 of the
walld
service use:
example% rpcinfo -d walld 1
