rpc - library routines for remote procedure calls

---

SYNOPSIS AND DESCRIPTION

RPC routines allow C programs to make procedure calls on other machines across the network. First, the client calls a procedure to send a request to the server. Upon receipt of the request, the server calls a dispatch routine to perform the requested service, and then sends back a reply. Finally, the procedure call returns to the client.

All RPC routines require the header <rpc/rpc.h> to be included.

The RPC routines have been grouped by usage on the following man pages.
