System Administration Commands rpcinfo(1M)
NAME
rpcinfo - report RPC information
SYNOPSIS
rpcinfo [-m -s] [host]
rpcinfo -p [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 servaddress -T transport prognum [versnum]
rpcinfo -b [-T transport] prognum versnum
rpcinfo -d [-T transport] prognum versnum
DESCRIPTION
rpcinfo 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. Note that the format of
the information is different 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 prog-
num 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 pro-
gram number (see rpc(4)).
If a versnum is specified, rpcinfo attempts to call that
version of the specified prognum. Otherwise, rpcinfo
attempts to find all the registered version numbers for the
specified prognum 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
that the version number is required for -b and -d options.
The EXAMPLES section describe other ways of using rpcinfo.
OPTIONS
-T transport Specify the transport on which the ser-
vice is required. If this option is not
specified, rpcinfo uses the transport
specified in the NETPATH environment
variable, or if that is unset or NUL,
the transport in the netconfig(4) data-
base is used. This is a generic option,
and can be used in conjunction with other
options as shown in the SYNOPSIS.
-a servaddress Use servaddress 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 speci-
fied, 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 ser-
vice. The servaddress 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
SunOS 5.11 Last change: 13 Jul 2001 2
System Administration Commands rpcinfo(1M)
transport is specified, 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 tran-
sports on which it was registered. Only
the owner of a service can delete a
registration, except the superuser, 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 tran-
sports 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 (versions 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 activities
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

System Administration Commands rpcinfo(1M)
local host. This option is not useful for
IPv6; use -s (see below) instead. Note
that 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 prog-
num 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 prog-
num 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
Example 1 RPC services.
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:

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 (pro-
gram number 100008) service for all transports use:
example# rpcinfo -d 100008 1
