-.TH PORTMAP 8C "9 September 1987"
-.SH NAME
-portmap \- DARPA port to RPC program number mapper
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B /usr/etc/rpc.portmap
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.IX "portmap command" "" "\fLportmap\fP \(em DARPA to RPC mapper"
-.IX DARPA "to RPC mapper \(em \fLportmap\fP"
-.B portmap
-is a server that converts
-.SM RPC
-program numbers into
-.SM DARPA
-protocol port numbers.
-It must be running in order to make
-.SM RPC
-calls.
-.LP
-When an
-.SM RPC
-server is started, it will tell
-.B portmap
-what port number it is listening to, and what
-.SM RPC
-program numbers it is prepared to serve.
-When a client wishes to make an
-.SM RPC
-call to a given program number,
-it will first contact
-.B portmap
-on the server machine to determine
-the port number where
-.SM RPC
-packets should be sent.
-.LP
-Normally, standard
-.SM RPC
-servers are started by
-.BR inetd (8C),
-so
-.B portmap
-must be started before
-.B inetd
-is invoked.
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
-.BR inetd.conf (5),
-.BR rpcinfo (8),
-.BR inetd (8)
-.SH BUGS
-If
-.B portmap
-crashes, all servers must be restarted.
