The pmap_rmtcall subroutine is a user interface to the portmap daemon. The routine instructs the host portmap daemon to make a remote procedure call (RPC). Clients consult the portmap daemon when sending out RPC calls for given program numbers. The portmap daemon tells the client the ports to which to send the calls.
This subroutine is part of Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
