\topic{NAME}
PMAP Sun Portmapper

\topic{SPECIFICATION}

\noindent  {\it Remote Procedure Calls: Protocol Specification}.
Sun Microsystems, Inc., Mountain View, Calif., May 1988.

\topic{SYNOPSIS}

\noindent The portmapper supports four of the five of the
procedures defined by Sun.  Indirect Call, Function 5, is
not implemented.  This implementation is compatible with
Sun's native implementation.  The {\xk} portmapper is
treated as a separate protocol that sits on top of the
{\xk} implementation of Sun RPC.  This implementation
only supports UDP as a lower level protocol.  Client and
server protocols running above the sunrpc protocol make
remote procedures calls to the portmapper, using its
well-known UDP port number 111.

Our implementation of the Sun Portmapper protocol uses some
of the original SUN\_RPC include files.  You must have access
to Sun include files to compile this protocol.

\topic{REALM}

\noindent 
The portmapper is in the ASYNC realm.

\topic{CONFIGURATION}

\noindent 
The portmapper is a realm boundary protocol which assumes its single
lower protocol is in the RPC realm.
