Note: if you set the timeout using Fn clnt_control , the timeout argument passed by Fn clnt_call is ignored in all subsequent calls.
Note: If you set the timeout value to 0, Fn clnt_control immediately returns an error (RPC_TIMEDOUT ) Set the timeout argument to 0 for batching calls.
The following operations are valid for connectionless transports only:
The retry timeout is the time that RPC waits for the server to reply before retransmitting the request. The Fn clnt_control function returns TRUE on success and FALSE on failure.
Note: Fn clnt_create returns a valid client handle even if the particular version number supplied to Fn clnt_create is not registered with the rpcbind(8) service. This mismatch will be discovered by a Fn clnt_call later (see rpc_clnt_calls3).
