.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In rpc/rpc.h
.Pp
See
.Sx DESCRIPTION
for function declarations.
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Bf -symbolic
The
.Fn svc_*
and
.Fn clnt_*
functions described in this page are the old, TS-RPC
interface to the XDR and RPC library, and exist for backward compatibility.
The new interface is described in the pages
referenced from
.Xr rpc 3 .
.Ef
.Pp
These routines allow C programs to make procedure
calls on other machines across the network.
First, the client calls a procedure to send a
data packet to the server.
Upon receipt of the packet, 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.
.Pp
Routines that are used for Secure
.Tn RPC ( DES
authentication) are described in
.Xr rpc_secure 3 .
Secure
.Tn RPC
can be used only if
.Tn DES
encryption is available.

.Fn auth_destroy "AUTH *auth"
.Xc
.Pp
A macro that destroys the authentication information associated with
.Fa auth .
Destruction usually involves deallocation of private data
structures.
The use of
.Fa auth
is undefined after calling
.Fn auth_destroy .
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft "AUTH *"
.Xc
.It Xo
.Fn authnone_create
.Xc
.Pp
Create and return an
.Tn RPC
authentication handle that passes nonusable authentication
information with each remote procedure call.
This is the
default authentication used by
.Tn RPC .
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft "AUTH *"
.Xc
.It Xo
.Fn authunix_create "char *host" "int uid" "int gid" "int len" "int *aup_gids"
.Xc
.Pp
Create and return an
.Tn RPC
authentication handle that contains
.Ux
authentication information.
The
.Fa host
argument
is the name of the machine on which the information was
created;
.Fa uid
is the user's user ID;
.Fa gid
is the user's current group ID;
.Fa len
and
.Fa aup_gids
refer to a counted array of groups to which the user belongs.
It is easy to impersonate a user.
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft "AUTH *"
.Xc
.It Xo
.Fn authunix_create_default
.Xc
.Pp
Calls
.Fn authunix_create
with the appropriate arguments.
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft int
.Fo callrpc
.Fa "char *host"
.Fa "u_long prognum"
.Fa "u_long versnum"
.Fa "u_long procnum"
.Fa "xdrproc_t inproc"
.Fa "void *in"
.Fa "xdrproc_t outproc"
.Fa "void *out"
.Fc
.Xc
.Pp
Call the remote procedure associated with
.Fa prognum ,
.Fa versnum ,
and
.Fa procnum
on the machine
.Fa host .
The
.Fa in
argument
is the address of the procedure's argument(s), and
.Fa out
is the address of where to place the result(s);
.Fa inproc
is used to encode the procedure's arguments, and
.Fa outproc
is used to decode the procedure's results.
This routine returns zero if it succeeds, or the value of
.Vt "enum clnt_stat"
cast to an integer if it fails.
The routine
.Fn clnt_perrno
is handy for translating failure statuses into messages.
.Pp
Warning: calling remote procedures with this routine
uses
.Tn UDP/IP
as a transport; see
.Fn clntudp_create
for restrictions.
You do not have control of timeouts or authentication using
this routine.

.Fa "char *in"
.Fa "xdrproc_t outproc"
.Fa "char *out"
.Fa "bool_t (*eachresult)(caddr_t, struct sockaddr_in *)"
.Fc
.Xc
.Pp
Like
.Fn callrpc ,
except the call message is broadcast to all locally
connected broadcast nets.
Each time it receives a
response, this routine calls
.Fn eachresult ,
whose form is:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Ft bool_t
.Fn eachresult "caddr_t out" "struct sockaddr_in *addr"
.Ed
.Pp
where
.Fa out
is the same as
.Fa out
passed to
.Fn clnt_broadcast ,
except that the remote procedure's output is decoded there;
.Fa addr
points to the address of the machine that sent the results.
If
.Fn eachresult
returns zero,
.Fn clnt_broadcast
waits for more replies; otherwise it returns with appropriate
status.
.Pp
Warning: broadcast sockets are limited in size to the
maximum transfer unit of the data link.
For ethernet,
this value is 1500 bytes.

.Fa "xdrproc_t inproc"
.Fa "char *in"
.Fa "xdrproc_t outproc"
.Fa "char *out"
.Fa "struct timeval tout"
.Fc
.Xc
.Pp
A macro that calls the remote procedure
.Fa procnum
associated with the client handle,
.Fa clnt ,
which is obtained with an
.Tn RPC
client creation routine such as
.Fn clnt_create .
The
.Fa in
argument
is the address of the procedure's argument(s), and
.Fa out
is the address of where to place the result(s);
.Fa inproc
is used to encode the procedure's arguments, and
.Fa outproc
is used to decode the procedure's results;
.Fa tout
is the time allowed for results to come back.
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft void
.Fn clnt_destroy "CLIENT *clnt"
.Xc
.Pp
A macro that destroys the client's
.Tn RPC
handle.
Destruction usually involves deallocation
of private data structures, including
.Fa clnt
itself.
Use of
.Fa clnt
is undefined after calling
.Fn clnt_destroy .
If the
.Tn RPC
library opened the associated socket, it will close it also.
Otherwise, the socket remains open.
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft CLIENT *
.Xc
.It Xo
.Fn clnt_create "char *host" "u_long prog" "u_long vers" "char *proto"
.Xc
.Pp
Generic client creation routine.
The
.Fa host
argument
identifies the name of the remote host where the server
is located.
The
.Fa proto
argument
indicates which kind of transport protocol to use.
The
currently supported values for this field are
.Qq Li udp
and
.Qq Li tcp .
Default timeouts are set, but can be modified using
.Fn clnt_control .
.Pp
Warning: Using
.Tn UDP
has its shortcomings.
Since
.Tn UDP Ns \-based
.Tn RPC
messages can only hold up to 8 Kbytes of encoded data,
this transport cannot be used for procedures that take
large arguments or return huge results.
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft bool_t
.Xc
.It Xo
.Fn clnt_control "CLIENT *cl" "u_int req" "char *info"
.Xc
.Pp
A macro used to change or retrieve various information
about a client object.
The
.Fa req
argument
indicates the type of operation, and
.Fa info
is a pointer to the information.
For both
.Tn UDP
and
.Tn TCP ,
the supported values of
.Fa req
and their argument types and what they do are:
.Bl -column "CLSET_RETRY_TIMEOUT" "struct sockaddr_in"
.It Dv CLSET_TIMEOUT Ta Xo
.Vt "struct timeval" Ta "set total timeout"
.Xc
.It Dv CLGET_TIMEOUT Ta Xo
.Vt "struct timeval" Ta "get total timeout"
.Xc
.El
.Pp
Note: if you set the timeout using
.Fn clnt_control ,
the timeout argument passed to
.Fn clnt_call
will be ignored in all future calls.
.Bl -column "CLSET_RETRY_TIMEOUT" "struct sockaddr_in"
.It Dv CLGET_SERVER_ADDR Ta Xo
.Vt "struct sockaddr_in" Ta "get server's address"
.Xc
.El
.Pp
The following operations are valid for
.Tn UDP
only:
.Bl -column "CLSET_RETRY_TIMEOUT" "struct sockaddr_in"
.It Dv CLSET_RETRY_TIMEOUT Ta Xo
.Vt "struct timeval" Ta "set the retry timeout"
.Xc
.It Dv CLGET_RETRY_TIMEOUT Ta Xo
.Vt "struct timeval" Ta "get the retry timeout"
.Xc
.El
.Pp
The retry timeout is the time that
.Tn "UDP RPC"
waits for the server to reply before
retransmitting the request.
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft bool_t
.Fn clnt_freeres "CLIENT *clnt" "xdrproc_t outproc" "char *out"
.Xc
.Pp
A macro that frees any data allocated by the
.Tn RPC/XDR
system when it decoded the results of an
.Tn RPC
call.
The
.Fa out
argument
is the address of the results, and
.Fa outproc
is the
.Tn XDR
routine describing the results.
This routine returns one if the results were successfully
freed,
and zero otherwise.
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft void
.Xc
.It Xo
.Fn clnt_geterr "CLIENT *clnt" "struct rpc_err *errp"
.Xc
.Pp
A macro that copies the error structure out of the client
handle
to the structure at address
.Fa errp .
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft void
.Xc
.It Xo
.Fn clnt_pcreateerror "char *s"
.Xc
.Pp
prints a message to standard error indicating
why a client
.Tn RPC
handle could not be created.
The message is prepended with string
.Fa s
and a colon.
A newline is appended at the end of the message.
Used when a
.Fn clnt_create ,
.Fn clntraw_create ,
.Fn clnttcp_create ,
or
.Fn clntudp_create
call fails.
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft void
.Xc
.It Xo
.Fn clnt_perrno "enum clnt_stat stat"
.Xc
.Pp
Print a message to standard error corresponding
to the condition indicated by
.Fa stat .
A newline is appended at the end of the message.
Used after
.Fn callrpc .
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft void
.Fn clnt_perror "CLIENT *clnt" "char *s"
.Xc
.Pp
Print a message to standard error indicating why an
.Tn RPC
call failed;
.Fa clnt
is the handle used to do the call.
The message is prepended with string
.Fa s
and a colon.
A newline is appended at the end of the message.
Used after
.Fn clnt_call .
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft "char *"
.Xc
.It Xo
.Fn clnt_spcreateerror "char *s"
.Xc
.Pp
Like
.Fn clnt_pcreateerror ,
except that it returns a string
instead of printing to the standard error.
.Pp
Bugs: returns pointer to static data that is overwritten
on each call.
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft "char *"
.Xc
.It Xo
.Fn clnt_sperrno "enum clnt_stat stat"
.Xc
.Pp
Take the same arguments as
.Fn clnt_perrno ,
but instead of sending a message to the standard error
indicating why an
.Tn RPC
call failed, return a pointer to a string which contains
the message.
.Pp
The
.Fn clnt_sperrno
function
is used instead of
.Fn clnt_perrno
if the program does not have a standard error (as a program
running as a server quite likely does not), or if the
programmer
does not want the message to be output with
.Fn printf ,
or if a message format different from that supported by
.Fn clnt_perrno
is to be used.
.Pp
Note: unlike
.Fn clnt_sperror
and
.Fn clnt_spcreateerror ,
.Fn clnt_sperrno
returns pointer to static data, but the
result will not get overwritten on each call.
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft "char *"
.Xc
.It Xo
.Fn clnt_sperror "CLIENT *rpch" "char *s"
.Xc
.Pp
Like
.Fn clnt_perror ,
except that (like
.Fn clnt_sperrno )
it returns a string instead of printing to standard error.
.Pp
Bugs: returns pointer to static data that is overwritten
on each call.
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ft "CLIENT *"
.Xc
.It Xo
.Fn clntraw_create "u_long prognum" "u_long versnum"
.Xc
.Pp
This routine creates a toy
.Tn RPC
client for the remote program
.Fa prognum ,
version
.Fa versnum .
The transport used to pass messages to the service is
actually a buffer within the process's address space, so the
corresponding
.Tn RPC
server should live in the same address space; see
.Fn svcraw_create .
This allows simulation of
.Tn RPC
and acquisition of
.Tn RPC
overheads, such as round trip times, without any
kernel interference.
This routine returns
.Dv NULL
if it fails.

.Fa "u_int recvsz"
.Fc
.Xc
.Pp
This routine creates an
.Tn RPC
client for the remote program
.Fa prognum ,
version
.Fa versnum ;
the client uses
.Tn TCP/IP
as a transport.
The remote program is located at Internet
address
.Fa addr .
If
.Fa addr\->sin_port
is zero, then it is set to the actual port that the remote
program is listening on (the remote
.Xr rpcbind 8
service is consulted for this information).
The
.Fa sockp
argument
is a socket; if it is
.Dv RPC_ANYSOCK ,
then this routine opens a new one and sets
.Fa sockp .
Since
.Tn TCP Ns \-based
.Tn RPC
uses buffered
.Tn I/O ,
the user may specify the size of the send and receive buffers
with the
.Fa sendsz
and
.Fa recvsz
arguments;
values of zero choose suitable defaults.
This routine returns

out.
The total time for the call to time out is specified by
