u_short port;

Description

The pmap_set subroutine acts as a user interface to the portmap daemon to map the program number, version number, and protocol of a remote procedure call to a port on the machine portmap daemon.

Note: The pmap_set subroutine is called by the svc_register subroutine.

Parameters
