RPCserver and reports what it finds.
OPTIONS
- -p
- Probe the portmapper onhost and print a list of all registeredRPCprograms. Ifhostis not specified, it defaults to the value returned byhostname(1).
- -u
- Make anRPCcall to procedure 0 ofprogramon the specifiedhostusingUDP and report whether a response was received.
- -t
- Make anRPCcall to procedure 0 ofprogramon the specifiedhostusingTCP and report whether a response was received.
- -n
- Useportnumas the port number for the-tand-uoptions instead of the port number given by the portmapper.
- -b
- Make anRPCbroadcast to procedure 0 of the specifiedprogramandversionusingUDPand report all hosts that respond.
- -d
- Delete registration for theRPCservice of the specifiedprogramandversion This option can be exercised only by the super-user.
Theprogramargument can be either a name or a number.
If aversionis specified,rpcinfoattempts to call that version of the specifiedprogram Otherwise,rpcinfoattempts to find all the registered versionnumbers for the specifiedprogramby calling version 0 (which is presumed notto exist; if it does exist,rpcinfoattempts to obtain this information by callingan extremely high versionnumber instead) and attempts to call each registered version.Note: the version number is required for-band-doptions.
