rpcinfo

$ rpcinfo -m

try on your machine

The command "rpcinfo -m" is used to display the registered RPC (Remote Procedure Call) programs, along with their version numbers and transport protocols, on a remote host.

RPC is a protocol that allows a program running on one host to call a function residing on a different host. It is widely used in client-server systems to enable communication between different processes or machines.

The "rpcinfo" command is a utility that provides information about RPC services available on a particular system. The "-m" option specifically lists the registered RPC programs on the specified host.

When you run "rpcinfo -m", it sends an RPC call to the remote host and requests the list of registered RPC programs. The response will include details such as program number, version number, name, and transport protocol.

This command is helpful for administrators and developers to verify the availability and configuration of RPC programs, ensuring smooth communication and functionality within a distributed system.
