clnt_geterr(3)                      CLIX                      clnt_geterr(3)



  NAME

    clnt_geterr - Library function for remote procedure calls

  LIBRARY

    Berkeley Software Distribution Library (libbsd.a)

  SYNOPSIS

    void clnt_geterr(
      CLIENT *clnt ,
      struct rpc_err *errp );

  PARAMETERS

    clnt   Specifies the address for the client RPC handle.

    errp   Specifies the address for RPC error information.

  DESCRIPTION

    The clnt_geterr() function allows C programs to make procedure calls on
    other machines across the network.  First, the client calls a procedure to
    send a data packet to the server.  Upon receipt of the packet, the server
    calls a dispatch routine to perform the requested service, and then sends
    back a reply.  Finally, the procedure call returns to the client.

    The clnt_geterr() function is a macro that copies the error structure out
    of the client handle to the structure at address errp.

  RETURN VALUES

    This function returns void.
