SYNOPSIS
The portmapper supports four of the five of the procedures defined by Sun. Indirect Call, Function 5, is not implemented. This implementation is compatible with Sun's native implementation. The x-kernel portmapper is treated as a separate protocol that sits on top of the x-kernel implementation of Sun RPC. This implementation only supports UDP as a lower level protocol. Client and server protocols running above the sunrpc protocol make remote procedures calls to the portmapper, using its well-known UDP port number 111.

Our implementation of the Sun Portmapper protocol uses some of the original SUN_RPCinclude files. You must have access to Sun include files to compile this protocol.

REALM
The portmapper is in the ASYNC realm.

CONFIGURATION
The portmapper is a realm boundary protocol which assumes its single lower protocol is in the RPC realm.
