# NAME

`rpc` — rpc program number database

# DESCRIPTION

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 hash mark (‘`#`’) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file.
