+.Sh NAME
+.Nm rpc
+.Nd library routines for remote procedure calls
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In rpc/rpc.h
+.In netconfig.h
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These
+routines allow C language programs to make procedure
+calls on other machines across a network.
+First, the client sends a request to the server.
+On receipt of the request, the server calls a dispatch routine
+to perform the requested service, and then sends back a reply.
+.Pp
+All
+RPC routines require the header
+.In rpc/rpc.h .
+Routines that take a
+.Vt "struct netconfig"
+also require that
+.In netconfig.h
+be included.
+.Sh Nettype
+Some of the high-level
+RPC interface routines take a
+.Fa nettype
+string as one of the arguments
+(for example,
+.Fn clnt_create ,
+.Fn svc_create ,
+.Fn rpc_reg ,
+.Fn rpc_call ) .
+This string defines a class of transports which can be used
+for a particular application.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa nettype
+argument
+can be one of the following:
+.Bl -tag -width datagram_v
+.It netpath
+Choose from the transports which have been
+indicated by their token names in the
+.Ev NETPATH
+environment variable.
+.Ev NETPATH
+is unset or
+.Dv NULL ,
+it defaults to
+.Qq visible .
+.Qq netpath
+is the default
+.Fa nettype .
+.It visible
+Choose the transports which have the visible flag (v)
+set in the
+.Pa /etc/netconfig
+file.
+.It circuit_v
+This is same as
+.Qq visible
+except that it chooses only the connection oriented transports
+(semantics
+.Qq tpi_cots
+or
+.Qq tpi_cots_ord )
+from the entries in the
+.Pa /etc/netconfig
+file.
+.It datagram_v
+This is same as
+.Qq visible
+except that it chooses only the connectionless datagram transports
+(semantics
+.Qq tpi_clts )
+from the entries in the
+.Pa /etc/netconfig
+file.
+.It circuit_n
+This is same as
+.Qq netpath
+except that it chooses only the connection oriented datagram transports
+(semantics
+.Qq tpi_cots
+or
+.Qq tpi_cots_ord ) .
+.It datagram_n
+This is same as
+.Qq netpath
+except that it chooses only the connectionless datagram transports
+(semantics
+.Qq tpi_clts ) .
+.It udp
+This refers to Internet UDP, both version 4 and 6.
+.It tcp
+This refers to Internet TCP, both version 4 and 6.
+.El
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa nettype
+is
+.Dv NULL ,
+it defaults to
+.Qq netpath .
+The transports are tried in left to right order in the
+.Ev NETPATH
+variable or in top to down order in the
+.Pa /etc/netconfig
+file.
+.Sh Derived Types
+The derived types used in the RPC interfaces are defined as follows:
+.Bd -literal
+ typedef u_int32_t rpcprog_t;
+ typedef u_int32_t rpcvers_t;
+ typedef u_int32_t rpcproc_t;
