rpcgen Command

Use the rpcgen command to generate C code to implement an RPC protocol. The input to RPCGEN is a language similar to C, known as RPC language.

You normally use rpcgen infile to generate the following four output files. For example, if the infile is named PROTO.X, rpcgen generates:

• A header file called PROTO.H
  
• XDR routines called PROTOX.C
  
• Server-side stubs called PROTOS.C
  
• Client-side stubs called PROTOC.C

For more information on the rpcgen command, see the Sun Microsystems publication, Networking on the Sun Workstation: Remote Procedure Call Programming Guide.
