Intermediate-level APIs

The intermediate-level APIs are similar to the top-level APIs, but the user applications select the transport-specific information by using network selection APIs. These APIs allow more customization and greater control over the transport that is used.

The intermediate-level APIs are:

• clnt_tp_create() (Create a client handle) creates a client handle for the program prognum, the version versnum, and for the transport specified by netconf.
• svc_tp_create() (Create a server handle) creates a server handle for the network specified by netconf, and registers itself with the RPC service package (RPCBind).
