NAME         top

       rpc - RPC program number data base

SYNOPSIS         top

       /etc/rpc

DESCRIPTION         top

       The rpc file contains user readable names that can be used in
       place of RPC program numbers.  Each line has the following
       information:

       •  name of server for the RPC program
       •  RPC program number
       •  aliases

       Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab
       characters.  A '#' indicates the beginning of a comment;
       characters from the '#' to the end of the line are not
       interpreted by routines which search the file.

       Here is an example of the /etc/rpc file from the Sun RPC Source
       distribution.
