All RPC routines require the header In rpc/rpc.h . Routines that take a Vt struct netconfig also require that In netconfig.h be included.
The Fa nettype argument can be one of the following:
If Fa nettype is NULL it defaults to Qq netpath . The transports are tried in left to right order in the NETPATH variable or in top to down order in the /etc/netconfig file.
