+.Nm getrpcport
+.Nd get RPC port number
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Ft int
+.Fn getrpcport "char *host" "int prognum" "int versnum" "int proto"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn getrpcport
+returns the port number for version
+.Fa versnum
+of the RPC program
+.Fa prognum
+running on
+.Fa host
+and using protocol
+.Fa proto .
+It returns 0 if it cannot contact the portmapper, or if
+.Fa prognum
+is not registered. If
+.Fa prognum
+is registered but not with version
+.Fa versnum ,
+it will still return a port number (for some version of the program)
+indicating that the program is indeed registered.
+The version mismatch will be detected upon the first call to the service.
