# 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
