Calls the remote procedure on the machine specified by the host parameter.
C Library (libc.a)
#include <rpc/rpc.h>
callrpc (host, prognum, versnum, procnum, inproc, in, outproc, out)
char * host;
u_long prognum, versnum, procnum;
xdrproc_t inproc;
char * in;
xdrproc_t outproc;
char * out;
The callrpc subroutine calls a remote procedure identified by the prognum parameter, the versnum parameter, and the procnum parameter on the machine pointed to by the host parameter.
This subroutine uses User Datagram Protocol/Internet Protocol (UDP/IP) as a transport to call a remote procedure. No connection will be made if the server is supported by Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). This subroutine does not control time outs or authentication.
This subroutine returns a value of enum clnt_stat. Use the clnt_perrno subroutine to translate this failure status into a displayed message.
The clnt_broadcast subroutine, clnttcp_create subroutine, clntudp_create subroutine, clnt_perrno subroutine, registerrpc subroutine, svc_run subroutine.
The clnt_call macro.
