pmap_rmtcall()

Format

#include <rpc.h>
#include <pmap_pro.h>
#include <pmap_cln.h>
enum clnt_stat
pmap_rmtcall(addr, prognum,
versnum, procnum, inproc, in, outproc, out, tout, portp)
struct sockaddr_in *addr;
u_long prognum;
u_long versnum;
u_long procnum;
xdrproc_t inproc;
char *in;
xdrproc_t outproc;
char *out;
struct timeval tout;
u_long *portp;

Parameters

addr: Indicates the pointer to the Internet address of the foreign host.
prognum: Specifies the remote program number.
versnum: Specifies the version number of the remote program.
procnum: Identifies the procedure to be called.
inproc: Specifies the XDR procedure used to encode the arguments of the remote procedure.
in: Specifies the pointer to the arguments of the remote procedure.
outproc: Specifies the XDR procedure used to decode the results of the remote procedure.
out: Indicates the pointer to the results of the remote procedure.
tout: Specifies the timeout period for the remote request.
portp: If the call from the remote portmap service is successful, portp contains the port number of the triple (prognum, versnum, procnum).

Usage

The pmap_rmtcall() call instructs portmapper, on the host at addr, to make an RPC call to a procedure on that host. This procedure should be used only for ping-type functions.

Return codes

clnt_stat enumerated type.
