  rpc

  NAME

    rpc - Remote procedure call (rpc) program number data base

  SYNOPSIS

    /etc/rpc

  DESCRIPTION

    The rpc file contains user readable names that can be used in place of
    remote procedure call (rpc) program numbers. Each line has the following
    information:

    *     Name of server for the rpc program
    *     The rpc program number
    *     Aliases

    Items are separated by any number of blanks, tab characters, or both. A
    "#" indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the
    line are not interpreted by routines that search the file.

    Here is an example of the /etc/rpc file from the Sun RPC Source
    distribution.
