NAME
     rpc - Remote Procedure Call (RPC) library routines

SYNOPSIS AND DESCRIPTION
     These routines allow C programs to make procedure calls on other machines
     across the network.  First, the client calls a procedure to send a data
     packet to the server.  Upon receipt of the packet, the server calls a
     dispatch routine to perform the requested service, and then sends back a
     reply.  Finally, the procedure call returns to the client.

     The description of individual RPC routines is split accross the following
     reference manual pages:
