Bug#941277: dispatch function missing in header file generated for RPC service

[Simon Richter <sjr@debian.org>]

Package: libc-dev-bin
Version: 2.28-10
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

Hi,

while implementing an RPC service (in 2019, no less!) I found out that the
dispatch function generated by rpcgen is not listed in the generated header
file, so if the service is generated without a main function or inetd
interface, the code using it needs to create its own declaration.

The signature is easy to guess, but nonetheless I think it should be
provided by the header.
