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 serv_address -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, thelocal 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 aSunOS 5.11 Last change: 13 Jul 2001 1

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 presumednot 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. Notethat 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 notspecified, rpcinfo uses the transport
specified in the NETPATH environment variable, or if that is unset or NULL,the transport in the netconfig(4) data-
base is used. This is a generic option, and can be used in conjunction with otheroptions as shown in the SYNOPSIS.
-a serv_address Use serv_address as the (universal)
address for the service on transport to ping procedure 0 of the specified prognum and report whether a response wasreceived. 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 remoterpcbind to find the address of the ser-
vice. The serv_address 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. IfSunOS 5.11 Last change: 13 Jul 2001 2

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, otherwiseunregister 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 specifiedhost. 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. Thisoption 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 theSunOS 5.11 Last change: 13 Jul 2001 3

local host. This option is not useful forIPv6; 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 quitelengthy. Use the -s option to display a more concise list:
