NAME
     rpc - RPC program number data base

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/rpc

DESCRIPTION
     The rpc file contains user readable names that can be used in place of
     Sun RPC program numbers.  Each line has the following information:

          name of server for the RPC program
          RPC program number
          aliases

     Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters.  A
     ``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of
     the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.
