+.SH NAME
+getrpcent, getrpcbyname, getrpcbynumber, setrpcent, endrpcent \- get
+RPC entry
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <netdb.h>
+.P
+.B struct rpcent *getrpcent(void);
+.P
+.BI "struct rpcent *getrpcbyname(const char *" name );

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR getrpcent (),
+.BR getrpcbyname (),
+and
+.BR getrpcbynumber ()
+functions each return a pointer to an object with the
+following structure containing the broken-out
+fields of an entry in the RPC program number data base.
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct rpcent {
+ char *r_name; /* name of server for this RPC program */
+ char **r_aliases; /* alias list */
+ long r_number; /* RPC program number */
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.P
+The members of this structure are:
+.TP
+.I r_name
+The name of the server for this RPC program.
+.TP
+.I r_aliases
+A NULL-terminated list of alternate names for the RPC program.
+.TP
+.I r_number
+The RPC program number for this service.
+.P
+The
+.BR getrpcent ()
+function reads the next entry from the database.
+A connection is opened to the database if necessary.
+.P
+The
+.BR setrpcent ()
+function opens a connection to the database,
+and sets the next entry to the first entry.
+If
+.I stayopen
+is nonzero,
+then the connection to the database
+will not be closed between calls to one of the
+.BR getrpc* ()
+functions.
+.P
+The
+.BR endrpcent ()
+function closes the connection to the database.
+.P
+The
+.BR getrpcbyname ()
+and
+.BR getrpcbynumber ()
+functions sequentially search from the beginning
+of the file until a matching RPC program name or
+program number is found, or until end-of-file is encountered.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success,
+.BR getrpcent (),
+.BR getrpcbyname (),
+and
+.BR getrpcbynumber ()
+return a pointer to a statically allocated
+.I rpcent
+structure.
+NULL is returned on EOF or error.
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I /etc/rpc
+RPC program number database.
