rpcinfo: Show concise table of all RPC services registered on localhost.
$ rpcinfo -s ${localhost}
try on your machine

The command "rpcinfo -s ${localhost}" is used to display information about the registered RPC (Remote Procedure Call) services on the local host.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "rpcinfo": It is a command-line tool that is used to query information about RPC services.
  • "-s": The "-s" option stands for "summary" and is used to display a summary of the registered RPC services.
  • "${localhost}": "${localhost}" is a variable representing the local host. It is typically replaced with the actual hostname or IP address of the machine on which the command is being executed.

When you run this command, it will query the local host for information about the registered RPC services and display a summary of those services. This summary typically includes the program number, version number, transport type, and other details for each registered RPC service.
