# pmap\_set(8)

set the list of registered RPC programs

## NAME

pmap\_set - set the list of registered RPC programs

## SYNOPSIS

**pmap\_set**

## DESCRIPTION

The **pmap\_set** command can be used to restart a running portmapper or to set the list of registered RPC programs on the local host. If you want to use the program to restart the portmapper you have to redirect the output of **pmap\_dump** to a file. After this you can restart the portmapper and restore the list of the registered RPC programs by feeding the output of **pmap\_dump** to the **pmap\_set** command.
