These functions constitute the RPC service library. Most of these describe RPC protocols. The PROTOCOL section describes how to access the protocol description file. This file may be compiled with rpcgen.1 to produce data definitions and XDR routines. Procompiled versions of header files sometimes exist as <rpcsvc/*.h> and precompiled XDR routines and programming interfaces to the protocols sometimes exist in librpcsvc. Warning: some of these header files and XDR routines were hand-written because they existed before rpcgen. They do not correspond to their protocol description file. In order to get the link editor to load this library, use the -lrpcsvc option of cc.1v Information about the availability of programming interfaces to these protocols is available under PROGRAMMING section of each manual page.
Some routines in the librpcsvc library do not correspond to protocols, but are useful utilities for RPC programming. These are distinguished by the presence of the SYNOPSIS section instead of the usual PROTOCOL section.
