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