Description

In the rpc_svc_calls(3nsl) man page it is stated that svc_run() never returns:

     The svc_run() function  never  returns.  In  single-threaded
     mode, the function waits for RPC requests to arrive. When an
     RPC  request  arrives,  the  svc_run()  function  calls  the
     appropriate  service  procedure.  This  procedure is usually
     waiting for the poll(2) library call to return.

This is basically not true. The fact that svc_run() could return (and how) is documented in the same man page:

     The svc_exit() function when called by any of the RPC server
     procedures or otherwise, destroys all services registered by
     the server and causes svc_run() to  return.

Also, the svc_run() implementation clearly shows that svc_run() can return.
