- library routines for remote procedure calls
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lnsl [ library ... ] #include <rpc/rpc.h> #include <netconfig.h>
These routines allow C language programs to make procedure calls on other machines across a network. First, the client sends a request to the server. On receipt of the request, the server calls a dispatch routine to perform the requested service, and then sends back a reply.
All RPC routines require the header <rpc/rpc.h>. Routines that take a netconfig structure also require that <netconfig.h> be included. Applications using RPC and XDR routines should be linked with the libnsl library.
In the case of multithreaded applications, the -mt option must be specified on the command line at compilation time to enable a thread-specific version of rpc_createerr(). See rpc_clnt_create(3NSL) and threads(5).
When used in multithreaded applications, client-side routines are MT-Safe. CLIENT handles can be shared between threads; however, in this implementation, requests by different threads are serialized (that is, the first request will receive its results before the second request is sent). See rpc_clnt_create(3NSL).
When used in multithreaded applications, server-side routines are usually Unsafe. In this implementation the service transport handle, SVCXPRT contains a single data area for decoding arguments and encoding results. See rpc_svc_create(3NSL). Therefore, this structure cannot be freely shared between threads that call functions that do this. Routines that are affected by this restriction are marked as unsafe for MT applications. See rpc_svc_calls(3NSL).
Some of the high-level RPC interface routines take a nettype string as one of the parameters (for example, clnt_create(), svc_create(), rpc_reg(), rpc_call()). This string defines a class of transports which can be used for a particular application.
nettype can be one of the following:
Choose from the transports which have been indicated by their token names in the NETPATH environment variable. If NETPATH is unset or NULL, it defaults to visible. netpath is the default nettype.
Choose the transports which have the visible flag (v) set in the /etc/netconfig file.
This is same as visible except that it chooses only the connection oriented transports (semantics tpi_cots or tpi_cots_ord) from the entries in the /etc/netconfig file.
This is same as visible except that it chooses only the connectionless datagram transports (semantics tpi_clts) from the entries in the /etc/netconfig file.
This is same as netpath except that it chooses only the connection oriented datagram transports (semantics tpi_cots or tpi_cots_ord).
This is same as netpath except that it chooses only the connectionless datagram transports (semantics tpi_clts).
This refers to Internet UDP.
This refers to Internet TCP.
If nettype is NULL, it defaults to netpath. The transports are tried in left to right order in the NETPATH variable or in top to down order in the /etc/netconfig file.
In a 64-bit environment, the derived types are defined as follows:

In a 32-bit environment, the derived types are defined as follows:
