NAME

   rpc - RPC program number data base

SYNOPSIS

   /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 the RPC program
   RPC program number
   aliases

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

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