RPC_LOCALADDR(9)                         Linux Networking                        RPC_LOCALADDR(9)



NAME
       rpc_localaddr - discover local endpoint address for an RPC client

SYNOPSIS
       int rpc_localaddr(struct rpc_clnt * clnt, struct sockaddr * buf, size_t buflen);

ARGUMENTS
       clnt
           RPC client structure

       buf
           target buffer

       buflen
           size of target buffer, in bytes

DESCRIPTION
       Returns zero and fills in “buf” and “buflen” if successful; otherwise, a negative errno is
       returned.

       This works even if the underlying transport is not currently connected, or if the upper
       layer never previously provided a source address.

       The result of this function call is transient: multiple calls in succession may give
       different results, depending on how local networking configuration changes over time.
