Notes
With the exception of the rpccp help subcommand, this facility was superceded by the DCE control program (dcecp) in OSF DCE Version 1.1. This command
may be fully replaced by the dcecp command in a future release of DCE, and may no longer be supported at that time.
Description
The RPC control program (rpccp) provides a set of commands for managing name service use for RPC applications and for managing the endpoint map.
You can use control program commands from within the control program or from the system prompt (represented here as a $).
To use the control program commands from inside the control program, start and enter the control program using the rpccp command alone, without any argument. The control program then displays the RPC control program prompt (rpccp>), as follows:
$ rpccp
rpccp>
You can then enter any control program command, for example:
rpccp> show entry /.:/LandS/anthro/pr_server_node3
You leave the control program and return to the system prompt using the exit or quit command.
If you enter invalid input, the control program displays the valid commands.
To use the control program commands from the system prompt, enter the rpccp command with an internal command of the control program as the first argument. You can do this either interactively or in a command procedure. For example, you can enter the show entry command as follows:
rpccp show entry /.:/LandS/anthro/pr_server_node3
