/etc/rpc

RPC program number database

Name:

/etc/rpc

Description:

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

name_of_server_for_rpc_program   rpc_program_number  aliases

Items are separated by any number of blanks or tabs, or both. A pound sign (#) in a line indicates the beginning of a comment — any characters after a #, up to the end of the line, aren't interpreted by routines that search the file.
