| 56 | .B r_name | |
| 57 | The name of the server for this rpc program. | |

| 73 | flag is non-zero, | |
| 74 | the net data base will not be closed after each call to | |

| 76 | (either directly, or indirectly through one of | |
| 77 | the other \*(lqgetrpc\*(rq calls). | |

| 85 | sequentially search from the beginning | |
| 86 | of the file until a matching rpc program name or | |
| 87 | program number is found, or until end-of-file is encountered. | |
