Debugging with rpcgen

When programming with rpcgen, the client program and the server procedure can be tested together as a single program by linking them with each other rather than with the client and server stubs. To do this, calls to RPC library routines (for example, clnt_create), have to be commented out, and client-side routines have to call server routines directly. The procedure calls will be executed as ordinary local procedure calls and the program can be debugged with a local debugger. After the program is working, the client program can be linked to the rpcgen-created client stubs and the server procedures can be linked to the rpcgen-created server skeleton.
