Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Facility
-b program version
make an RPC broadcast to procedure 0 of the specified program and
version using UDP and report all hosts that respond.
The value for program can be a name or a number.
-d program version
delete registration for the RPC service of the specified program and version.
This option can be specified only by a super-group member.
The value for program can be a name or a number.
Considerations

If a value for version is specified, RPCINFO attempts to call that version of the
specified program. Otherwise, RPCINFO attempts to find all registered version
numbers for the specified program by calling version 0 and attempts to call each
registered version. Version 0 is presumed not to exist. If it exists, RPCINFO tries to
obtain this information by calling an extremely high version number instead.

Because RPCINFO uses the socket library specified by TCP/IP, a PARAM for
TCPIP^HOST^FILE must be specified if the Domain Name Resolver is not used.
For example:
PARAM TCPIP^HOST^FILE $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP.HOSTS
Examples

To show all the RPC services registered on the local system:
RPCINFO -p

To show all the RPC services registered on a system named CYCLONE:
RPCINFO -p cyclone

To show all the systems on the local net running version 2 of the portmapper:
RPCINFO -b portmapper 2

To delete a leftover registration for version 1 of the 1073741824 service:
RPCINFO -d 1073741824 1

The RPC file $SYSTEM.ZRPC.RPC contains user-readable names that can be
used in place of RPC program numbers. Each line contains the name of the RPC
program, the RPC program number, and aliases. See this example partial output:
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
