Moving Sun RPC code into libc, part 1. Based on work done by a number of

people, including J.T. Conklin, Theo de Raadt, Paul Richards, and probably
someone else who's going to flame me as soon as they see this message.

+.TH GETRPCPORT 3R "6 October 1987"
+.SH NAME
+getrpcport \- get RPC port number
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.ft B
+.nf
+int getrpcport(host, prognum, versnum, proto)
+	char *host;
+	int prognum, versnum, proto;
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX getrpcport "" "\fLgetrpcport\fR \(em get RPC port number"
+.B getrpcport(\|)
+returns the port number for version
+.I versnum
+of the RPC program
+.I prognum
+running on
+.I host
+and using protocol
+.IR proto .
+It returns 0 if it cannot contact the portmapper, or if
+.I prognum
+is not registered.  If
+.I prognum
+is registered but not with version
+.IR versnum ,
+it will still return a port number (for some version of the program)
+indicating that the program is indeed registered.
+The version mismatch will be detected upon the first call to the service.
