Description

In the rpc_svc_calls(3nsl) man page there is this description of svc_getrpccaller():

     struct netbuf *svc_getrpccaller(const SVCXPRT *xprt);

     The svc_getrpccaller() function is the approved way of  get-
     ting  the network address of the caller of a procedure asso-
     ciated with the RPC  service  transport  handle  xprt.  This
     function macro is Safe in multithreaded applications.

There are two minor issues with it:

  1. The svc_getrpccaller() is not a macro.
  2. It is not clear whether the svc_getrpccaller() returns an allocated copy of struct netbuf, or not. IOW, it is not clear whether the svc_getrpccaller() caller should deallocate the returned netbuf, or not. To avoid confusion, it should be stated in the man page that the returned netbuf shouldn't be deallocated by the svc_getrpccaller() caller.

Okay, svc_getrpccaller() is a macro defined in svc.h. The svc_getrpccaller() function definition in svid_funcs.c is there only for compatibility reasons.
