rpc(5) BSD File Formats Manual rpc(5)
NAME
rpc -- rpc program number data base
DESCRIPTION
The rpc file contains user readable names that can be used in place of
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.

INTERACTION WITH DIRECTORY SERVICES
Processes generally find protocol records using one of the getrpcent(3)
family of functions. On Mac OS X, these functions interact with the
DirectoryService(8) daemon, which reads the /etc/rpc file as well as
searching other directory information services to determine rpc name and
program number information.
