14 The getrpcport() function returns the port number for version versnum of
15 the RPC program prognum running on host and using protocol proto. It
16 returns 0 if it cannot contact the portmapper, or if prognum is not reg‐
17 istered. If prognum is registered but not with version versnum, it will
18 still return a port number (for some version of the program) indicating
19 that the program is indeed registered. The version mismatch will be
20 detected upon the first call to the service.
