✨ NAME ✨

probe::sunrpc.clnt.call_sync — Make a synchronous RPC call

like. it makes a synchronous RPC call. it waits. it does not text back later. periodt. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

probe sunrpc.clnt.call_sync {}

that's it. that's the whole thing. no arguments, no little extras, just the probe point sitting there being gorgeous. ✨

---

🌸 VALUES 🌸

these are all the lil variables you get to peek at when the probe fires. every single one, no skipping, i know you'd never 🙈

• servername — the name of the server machine, like the government name of the box you're talking to 💖
• xid — the current transmission id, aka the lil tracking number for this call 🔥
• prot — the IP protocol number, a raw number number, not a name 🧚
• progname — the RPC program name, the cute human-readable one 🌈
• port — the port number, you know her 👑
• dead — whether this client is abandoned 💀 (yes literally, that's what it tracks, an abandoned client)
• proc — the procedure number in this RPC call, the numeric version 🌸
• prog — the RPC program number, the numeric sibling of progname ⭐
• procname — the procedure name in this RPC call, the name version of proc 🎀
• vers — the RPC program version number, because everything is versioned and that's just life 🦋
• flags — flags. that's the description. flags. sometimes a value is just flags and we respect it 💅

ngl dead and flags are giving "the manpage author had somewhere to be" but we love them anyway 🫶
