Intro(NS)


Intro -- introduction to RPC library functions

Description

This section describes functions which may be found in various libraries. The library functions implement the RPC and XDR primitives, as well as some socket system calls. All of these functions are accessible from either the RPC library, librpc, the RPC services library, librpcsvc, the socket library, libsocket, or one of the database manager libraries, libdbm or libndbm. The link editor ld(CP) and the C compiler cc(CP) search these libraries under the -llibname option.
