.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm rpc
.Nd library routines for remote procedure calls
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In rpc/rpc.h
.In netconfig.h
.Sh DESCRIPTION
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.
.Pp
All
RPC routines require the header
.In rpc/rpc.h .
Routines that take a
.Vt "struct netconfig"
also require that
.In netconfig.h
be included.
.Sh Nettype
Some of the high-level
RPC interface routines take a
.Fa nettype
string as one of the arguments
(for example,
.Fn clnt_create ,
.Fn svc_create ,
.Fn rpc_reg ,
.Fn rpc_call ) .
This string defines a class of transports which can be used
for a particular application.
.Pp
The
.Fa nettype
argument
can be one of the following:
.Bl -tag -width datagram_v
.It netpath
Choose from the transports which have been
indicated by their token names in the
.Ev NETPATH
environment variable.
.Ev NETPATH
is unset or
.Dv NULL ,
it defaults to
.Qq visible .
.Qq netpath
is the default
.Fa nettype .
.It visible
Choose the transports which have the visible flag (v)
set in the
.Pa /etc/netconfig
file.
.It circuit_v
This is same as
.Qq visible
except that it chooses only the connection oriented transports
(semantics
.Qq tpi_cots
or
.Qq tpi_cots_ord )
from the entries in the
.Pa /etc/netconfig
file.
.It datagram_v
This is same as
.Qq visible
except that it chooses only the connectionless datagram transports
(semantics
.Qq tpi_clts )
from the entries in the
.Pa /etc/netconfig
file.
.It circuit_n
This is same as
.Qq netpath
except that it chooses only the connection oriented datagram transports
(semantics
.Qq tpi_cots
or
.Qq tpi_cots_ord ) .
.It datagram_n
This is same as
.Qq netpath
except that it chooses only the connectionless datagram transports
(semantics
.Qq tpi_clts ) .
.It udp
This refers to Internet UDP, both version 4 and 6.
.It tcp
This refers to Internet TCP, both version 4 and 6.
.El
.Pp
If
.Fa nettype
is
.Dv NULL ,
it defaults to
.Qq netpath .
The transports are tried in left to right order in the
.Ev NETPATH
variable or in top to down order in the
.Pa /etc/netconfig
file.
.Sh Derived Types
The derived types used in the RPC interfaces are defined as follows:
.Bd -literal

typedef u_int32_t rpcvers_t;
typedef u_int32_t rpcproc_t;
