`PMAPPROC_GETPORT`

Given a program number prog, version number vers, and transport protocol number prot, the PMAPPROC_GETPORT procedure returns the port number on which the program is awaiting call requests. A port value of zeroes means the program has not been registered. The port field of the argument is ignored. See also the pmap_getport() function in the rpc_soc(3NSL) man page.

`PMAPPROC_DUMP`

The PMAPPROC_DUMP procedure enumerates all entries in the port mapper's database. The procedure takes no parameters and returns a list of program, version, protocol, and port values. See also the pmap_getmaps() function in the rpc_soc(3NSL) man page.

`PMAPPROC_CALLIT`

The PMAPPROC_CALLIT procedure enables a caller to call another remote procedure on the same machine without knowing the remote procedure's port number. It supports broadcasts to arbitrary remote programs by using the well-known port mapper's port. The parameters prog, vers, proc, and the bytes of args are the program number, version number, procedure number, and parameters of the remote procedure. See also the pmap_rmtcall() function in the rpc_soc(3NSL) man page.

This procedure only sends a response if the procedure was successfully executed and is silent (no response) otherwise. It also returns the remote program's port number, and the bytes of results are the results of the remote procedure.

The port mapper communicates with the remote program using UDP/IP only.


	`PMAPPROC_GETPORT` Given a program number prog, version number vers, and transport protocol number prot, the `PMAPPROC_GETPORT` procedure returns the `port` `number` on which the program is awaiting call requests. A `port` value of zeroes means the program has not been registered. The port field of the argument is ignored. See also the `pmap_getport()` function in the `rpc_soc`(3NSL) man page. `PMAPPROC_DUMP` The `PMAPPROC_DUMP` procedure enumerates all entries in the port mapper's database. The procedure takes no parameters and returns a list of `program`, `version`, `protocol`, and `port` values. See also the `pmap_getmaps()` function in the `rpc_soc`(3NSL) man page. `PMAPPROC_CALLIT` The `PMAPPROC_CALLIT` procedure enables a caller to call another remote procedure on the same machine without knowing the remote procedure's port number.
