NAME
       getrpcport - get RPC port number

SYNOPSIS
       int getrpcport(host, prognum, versnum, proto)
            char *host;
            int prognum, versnum, proto;

DESCRIPTION
       getrpcport()  returns  the port number for version versnum of the RPC program prognum run-
       ning on host and using protocol proto.  It returns 0 if it cannot contact the  portmapper,
       or  if  prognum is not registered.  If prognum is registered but not with version versnum,
       it will still return a port number (for some version of the program) indicating  that  the
       program  is  indeed registered.  The version mismatch will be detected upon the first call
       to the service.
