GETRPCENTR(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GETRPCENTR(3)

NAME
       getrpcentr,  getrpcbynamer,  getrpcbynumberr  - get RPC entry (reen‐
       trant)

SYNOPSIS
       #include 

       int getrpcentr(struct rpcent *resultbuf, char *buf,
                       sizet buflen, struct rpcent **result);

       int getrpcbynamer(const char *name,
                       struct rpcent *resultbuf, char *buf,
                       sizet buflen, struct rpcent **result);

       int getrpcbynumberr(int number,
                       struct rpcent *resultbuf, char *buf,
                       sizet buflen, struct rpcent **result);

DESCRIPTION
       The getrpcentr(), getrpcbynamer(), and  getrpcbynumberr()  functions
       are the reentrant equivalents of, respectively, getrpcent(3), getrpcby‐
       name(3), and getrpcbynumber(3).  They differ in the way that the rpcent
       structure is returned, and in the function calling signature and return
       value.  This manual page describes just the differences from  the  non‐
       reentrant functions.

       Instead  of returning a pointer to a statically allocated rpcent struc‐
       ture as the function result, these functions copy  the  structure  into
       the location pointed to by resultbuf.

       The  buf  array  is  used  to store the string fields pointed to by the
       returned rpcent structure.  (The nonreentrant functions allocate  these
       strings  in  static  storage.)   The size of this array is specified in
       buflen.  If buf is too small, the call fails with the error ERANGE, and
       the  caller  must  try again with a larger buffer.  (A buffer of length
       1024 bytes should be sufficient for most applications.)

       If the function call successfully obtains an RPC record,  then  *result
       is set pointing to resultbuf; otherwise, *result is set to NULL.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, these functions return 0.  On error, they return one of the
       positive error numbers listed in ERRORS.

       On error, record not found (getrpcbynamer(),  getrpcbynumberr()),  or
       end of input (getrpcentr()) result is set to NULL.

ERRORS
       ENOENT (getrpcentr()) No more records in database.

       ERANGE buf is too small.  Try again with a larger buffer (and increased
              buflen).

CONFORMING TO
       These functions are GNU extensions.  Functions with similar names exist
       on  some  other systems, though typically with different calling signa‐
       tures.
