For backward compatibility, these functions still exist. The use of these interfaces is strongly discouraged, and they may not be available in future implementations of HP-UX. The old functions have been moved to RPC libraries, alongside the recommended ones. You must use #define PORTMAP to access the obsolete interfaces.

Identifiers

`authunix_create_default`	`pmap_unset`
`callrpc`	`registerrpc`

Old behavior

#include < rpc/rpc.h >
struct sockaddr_in  myaddr;
get_myaddress(&myaddr);

Solution description

Modify your code to use the new functions, include the correct header files, and link with the NSL library. Refer to the manpages to determine the appropriate usage.

The following functions exist only for backward compatibility, are obsolete, and have been replaced by the listed functions. You should modify your software to use the new function names.

All of the preceding functions (both new and old) exist in the RPC libraries. If you plan on recompiling your program, you must use #define PORTMAP to access any of the preceding functions.

New behavior

#include < netdir.h >

.
struct netconfig *config;
struct t_unitdata *unit;
struct nd_addrlist *addr_list;
.

.
netdir_getbyname(config, service, &addr_list);
