</div>
<p>The <strong>clnt_tli_create()</strong> API creates an RPC client handle for
the remote program <em>prognum</em> and version <em>versnum</em>. The remote
program is located at address <em>svcaddr</em>. The client uses the transport
that is specified by <em>netconf</em>. Depending upon the type of the transport
(connection-oriented or connectionless), <strong>clnt_tli_create()</strong>
calls the appropriate client-creation functions.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>fildes</strong> &nbsp;(Input)&nbsp;</dt>
<dd>A file descriptor. The only permitted value is RPC_ANYFD. The API opens an
internal file descriptor which is not accessible by the user applications.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>netconf</strong> &nbsp;(Input)&nbsp;</dt>
<dd>The transport protocol.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>svcaddr</strong> &nbsp;(Input)&nbsp;</dt>
<dd>A pointer to the address where the remote program is located.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>prognum</strong> &nbsp;(Input)&nbsp;</dt>
<dd>The program number of the remote program.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>vernum</strong> &nbsp;(Input)&nbsp;</dt>
<dd>The version number of the remote program.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>sendsz</strong> &nbsp;(Input)&nbsp;</dt>
<dd>The size of the send buffer. When a value of zero is specified, a suitable
default will be chosen by the system.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>recvsz</strong> &nbsp;(Input)&nbsp;</dt>
<dd>The size of the receive buffer. When a value of zero is specified, a
suitable default will be chosen by the system.</dd>

<h3>Return Value</h3>
<table cellpadding="5">
<!-- cols="15 85" -->

<td align="left" valign="top"><em>clnt</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">Upon successful completion, this function returns
a client handle.</td>

<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>Upon failure, <strong>clnt_tli_create()</strong> sets the global structure
<em>rpc_createerr</em>. The <em>rpc_createerr.cf_stat</em> variable contains a
status value that indicates the error reason. The
<em>rpc_createerr.cf_error.re_errno</em> variable is meaningful when some
status values are set.</p>
<p>The <em>rpc_createerr.cf_stat</em> variable can be set to one of the
following values:</p>
<table cellpadding="5">
<!-- cols="25 75" -->

<td align="left" valign="top"><em>[RPC_INTR]</em></td>
