 * rpcb_entry contains a merged address of a service on a particular
 * transport, plus associated netconfig information.  A list of
 * rpcb_entry items is returned by RPCBPROC_GETADDRLIST.  The meanings
 * and values used for the r_nc_* fields are given below.
 *
 * The network identifier  (r_nc_netid):
 *   This is a string that represents a local identification for a
 *   network.  This is defined by a system administrator based on
 *   local conventions, and cannot be depended on to have the same
 *   value on every system.
 *
 * Transport semantics (r_nc_semantics):
 *  This represents the type of transport, and has the following values:
 *     NC_TPI_CLTS     (1)      Connectionless
 *     NC_TPI_COTS     (2)      Connection oriented
 *     NC_TPI_COTS_ORD (3)      Connection oriented with graceful close
 *     NC_TPI_RAW      (4)      Raw transport
 *
 * Protocol family (r_nc_protofmly):
 *   This identifies the family to which the protocol belongs.  The
 *   following values are defined:
 *     NC_NOPROTOFMLY   "-"
 *     NC_LOOPBACK      "loopback"
 *     NC_INET          "inet"
 *     NC_IMPLINK       "implink"
 *     NC_PUP           "pup"
 *     NC_CHAOS         "chaos"
 *     NC_NS            "ns"
 *     NC_NBS           "nbs"
 *     NC_ECMA          "ecma"
 *     NC_DATAKIT       "datakit"
 *     NC_CCITT         "ccitt"
 *     NC_SNA           "sna"
 *     NC_DECNET        "decnet"
 *     NC_DLI           "dli"
 *     NC_LAT           "lat"
 *     NC_HYLINK        "hylink"
 *     NC_APPLETALK     "appletalk"
 *     NC_NIT           "nit"
 *     NC_IEEE802       "ieee802"
 *     NC_OSI           "osi"
 *     NC_X25           "x25"
 *     NC_OSINET        "osinet"
 *     NC_GOSIP         "gosip"
 *
 * Protocol name (r_nc_proto):
 *   This identifies a protocol within a family.  The following are
 *   currently defined:
 *      NC_NOPROTO      "-"
 *      NC_TCP          "tcp"
 *      NC_UDP          "udp"
 *      NC_ICMP         "icmp"
