SYNOPSIS |
#include <netdb.h> int setrpcent(int stayopen);
DESCRIPTION |
setrpcent
opens the Sun RPC program numbers file, that is, a file with
the same format as
/etc/rpc
in the UNIX environment. If the file is already open,
setrpcent
rewinds the file so that succeeding
getrpcent
calls can read it sequentially.
Specifying a nonzero value for
stayopen
causes the protocols file to remain open between subsequent
getrpcbyname
and
getrpcbynumber
calls. Refer to /etc/rpc and
Network Administration for information on naming this
file for your system.
RETURN VALUE |
setrpcent
does not return a value.
CAUTION |
The value that
getrpcbynumber
returns points to a static structure within the library.
You must copy the information from this structure before you make further
getrpcbyname
,
getrpcbynumber
, or
getrpcent
calls.
PORTABILITY |
setrpcent
is portable to other systems that support Sun RPC 4.0.
IMPLEMENTATION |
This function is built from the Sun RPC 4.0 distribution.
