rpcinfo:tldr:86073

rpcinfo: Delete the registration for version 1 of the mountd service for all transports.
$ rpcinfo -d ${mountd} ${1}
try on your machine

This command is used to query the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) program about mount-related information on a specific host.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • rpcinfo: This is the main command that is used to make RPC-based queries.
  • -d: This option specifies that we want to retrieve the dynamic program information.
  • ${mountd}: This is a variable that should be replaced with the hostname or IP address of the target host running the mountd program. mountd is responsible for handling NFS (Network File System) mount requests.
  • ${1}: This is again a variable that should be replaced with the program number or name of the specific mount service program to query on the target host.

So essentially, this command is asking the RPC program on the specified host about dynamic information related to the mountd program with program number or name specified by ${1}.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
