NAME
  rpc - Remote procedure call file

DESCRIPTION
  The rpc file is an ASCII file that contains the following information:

  rpc name
  numerical rpc ID
  aliases

  Each rpc name is separated from the next by a new line.  Items are
  separated by any number of blanks or tab characters or both.	A number sign
  (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the
  line are not interpreted by routines that search the file.

  The rpc database can be distributed in a network by a naming service, such
  as Network Information Service (NIS) or BIND.	 See the Network
  Administration for setup information.
