Registers the server program with the Portmapper service. Format #include <rpc/rpc.h> bool_t svc_register(SVCXPRT *xprt, u_long prognum, u_long versnum, void (*dispatch)(), u_long protocol);
1 – Arguments
xprt A pointer to an RPC server handle created by any of the server- handle creation routines. prognum The program number associated with the server procedure. versnum The version number associated with the server procedure. dispatch The address of the service dispatch procedure that the server procedure calls. The procedure dispatch has the following form: void dispatch(request, xprt) struct svc_req *request; SVCXPRT *xprt; The svc_run and svc_getreqset call the dispatch routine. protocol The protocol that the server procedure uses. Values for this parameter are zero, IPPROTO_UDP, or IPPROTO_TCP. If protocol is zero, the service is not registered with the Portmapper service.
2 – Description
Associates prognum and versnum with the service dispatch procedure dispatch. If protocol is nonzero, then a mapping of the triple [prognum, versnum, protocol] to xprt->xp_port is also established with the local Portmapper service.
3 – Return Values
TRUE Indicates success. FALSE Indicates failure.
