RPCGEN Sample Programs

RPCGEN consists of three user-written files located in \TOOLKIT\SAMPLES\TCPIPTK\RPCGEN):

• RG.X defines the remote procedure characteristics

• RGUS.C demonstrates an RPC server program

• RGUC.C demonstrates an RPC client program

The following explains how to build and run the RPCGEN samples.

• Perform the following:

  rpcgen rg.x

  This generates rg.h, rg.i, rgs.c, rgc.c, and rgx.c.

• From rgx.c, add the include headers to rgus.c and rguc.c if they do not already exist

• Run rpcgsamp.cmd to compile rgus.c, rguc.c, rgs.c, and rgc.c

  Link rgs.obj and rgus.obj to generate rgs.exe

  Link rgc.obj and rguc.obj to generate rgc.exe

• Start portmap.exe and rgs.exe on the same machine:

  start portmap
  start rgs
  

• Start rgc.exe by typing:

  rgc hostname "user_input string"
