             - XDR library routines for remote procedure calls

       SYNOPSIS

             #include <rpc/rpc.h>
             bool_t xdr_accepted_reply(XDR *xdrs, const struct accepted_reply *ar);

             void xdr_callhdr(XDR *xdrs, const struct rpc_msg *chdr);
             bool_t xdr_callmsg(XDR *xdrs, const struct rpc_msg *cmsg);
             bool_t xdr_opaque_auth(XDR *xdrs, const struct opaque_auth *ap);
             bool_t xdr_rejected_reply(XDR *xdrs, const struct rejected_reply *rr);
             bool_t xdr_replymsg(XDR *xdrs, const struct rpc_msg *rmsg);

       DESCRIPTION
             These routines are used for describing the RPC messages in XDR
             language.  They should normally be used by those who do not
             want to use the RPC package.

          Routines
             See rpc(3N) for the definition of the XDR data structure.

             bool_t
             xdr_accepted_reply(XDR *xdrs, const struct accepted_reply *ar);

                   Used for encoding RPC reply messages.  It encodes the
                   status of the RPC call in the XDR language format, and
                   in the case of success, it encodes the call results
                   also.

             bool_t
             xdr_authsys_parms(XDR *xdrs, const struct authsys_parms *aupp);

                   Used for describing operating system credentials.  It
                   includes machine-name, uid, gid list, etc.

             void
             xdr_callhdr(XDR *xdrs, const struct rpc_msg *chdr);

                   Used for describing RPC call header messages.  It
                   encodes the static part of the call message header in
                   the XDR language format.  It includes information such
                   as transaction ID, RPC version number, program and
                   version number.

      rpc_xdr(3N)                                              rpc_xdr(3N)


            bool_t
            xdr_callmsg(XDR *xdrs, const struct rpc_msg *cmsg);

                  Used for describing RPC call messages.  This includes
                  all the RPC call information such as transaction ID, RPC
                  version number, program number, version number,
                  authentication information, etc.  This is normally used
                  by servers to determine information about the client RPC
                  call.

            bool_t
            xdr_opaque_auth(XDR *xdrs, const struct opaque_auth *ap);

                  Used for describing RPC opaque authentication
                  information messages.

            bool_t
            xdr_rejected_reply(XDR *xdrs, const struct rejected_reply *rr);

                  Used for describing RPC reply messages.  It encodes the
                  rejected RPC message in the XDR language format.  The
                  message could be rejected either because of version
                  number mis-match or because of authentication errors.

            bool_t
            xdr_replymsg(XDR *xdrs, const struct rpc_msg *rmsg);

                  Used for describing RPC reply messages.  It encodes all
                  the RPC reply message in the XDR language format This
                  reply could be either an acceptance, rejection or NULL.
