<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
<pre>
#include &lt;rpc/rpc.h&gt;
#include &lt;netconfig.h&gt;
CLIENT *clnt_tp_create(const char *<em>host</em>,

</div>
<p>The <strong>clnt_tp_create()</strong> API creates a client handle for the
program <em>prognum</em>, the version <em>versnum</em>, and for the transport
specified by <em>netconf</em>. The remote <strong>RPCBind</strong> service on
the host machine <em>host</em> is consulted for the address of the remote
service.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>host</strong> &nbsp;(Input)&nbsp;</dt>
<dd>The name of the remote host where the server 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>netconf</strong> &nbsp;(Input)&nbsp;</dt>
<dd>The transport protocol to use.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Authorities</h3>
<p>The caller of the <strong>clnt_tp_create()</strong> API must have execute
(*X) authority to the /etc directory and must have read (*R) authority to the
netconfig file.</p>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<table cellpadding="5">
<!-- cols="15 85" -->
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>clnt</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">Upon successful completion, this function returns
a client handle.</td>

<td align="left" valign="top"><em>NULL</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top"><strong>clnt_tp_create()</strong> was not
successful. The <em>rpc_createerr</em> variable is set to indicate the

<br>
<br>
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>Upon failure, <strong>clnt_tp_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="30 70" -->

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