NAME
       getrpcent_r, getrpcbyname_r, getrpcbynumber_r - get RPC entry (reentrant)

LIBRARY
       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <netdb.h>

       int getrpcent_r(struct rpcent *result_buf, char buf[.buflen],
                       size_t buflen, struct rpcent **result);
       int getrpcbyname_r(const char *name,
                       struct rpcent *result_buf, char buf[.buflen],
                       size_t buflen, struct rpcent **result);
       int getrpcbynumber_r(int number,
                       struct rpcent *result_buf, char buf[.buflen],
                       size_t buflen, struct rpcent **result);

       getrpcent_r(), getrpcbyname_r(), getrpcbynumber_r():
           Since glibc 2.19:
               _DEFAULT_SOURCE
           glibc 2.19 and earlier:
               _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION
       The getrpcent_r(), getrpcbyname_r(), and getrpcbynumber_r() functions are the reentrant equivalents of, respectively, getrp‐
       cent(3), getrpcbyname(3), and getrpcbynumber(3).  They differ in the way that the rpcent structure is returned, and  in  the
       function  calling  signature  and return value.  This manual page describes just the differences from the nonreentrant func‐
       tions.

       Instead of returning a pointer to a statically allocated rpcent structure as the function result, these functions  copy  the
       structure into the location pointed to by result_buf.

       The  buf  array is used to store the string fields pointed to by the returned rpcent structure.  (The nonreentrant functions
       allocate these strings in static storage.)  The size of this array is specified in buflen.  If buf is too  small,  the  call
       fails  with  the error ERANGE, and the caller must try again with a larger buffer.  (A buffer of length 1024 bytes should be
       sufficient for most applications.)

       If the function call successfully obtains an RPC record, then *result is set pointing to result_buf; otherwise,  *result  is
       set to NULL.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, these functions return 0.  On error, they return one of the positive error numbers listed in ERRORS.

       On error, record not found (getrpcbyname_r(), getrpcbynumber_r()), or end of input (getrpcent_r()) result is set to NULL.

ERRORS
       ENOENT (getrpcent_r()) No more records in database.

       ERANGE buf is too small.  Try again with a larger buffer (and increased buflen).

STANDARDS
       These functions are GNU extensions.  Functions with similar names exist on some other systems, though typically with differ‐
       ent calling signatures.
