RPC(5)                        File Formats Manual                       RPC(5)

NAME
     rpc - rpc program number data base

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/rpc

DESCRIPTION
     The rpc file is a local source containing user readable names that can be
     used in place of RPC program numbers.

     The rpc file has one line for each RPC program name.  The line has the
     following format:

           name-of-the-RPC-program  RPC-program-number  aliases

     Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters.  A
     hash ("#") indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end
     of the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.

FILES
     /etc/rpc
