### The RPC Name Service Interface

The DCE remote procedure call (RPC) facility supports an interface to the directory service that is specific to RPC and is layered on top of directory service interfaces; it is called the Name Service Independent (NSI) interface. NSI can manipulate three object classes: entries, groups, and profiles, which were created to store RPC binding information. NSI data is stored in CDS. Programming using this interface is discussed in the OSF DCE Application Development Guide _ Core Components and OSF DCE Application Development Guide - Introduction and Style Guide .
