NAME
     rpc_xdr: xdr_accepted_reply, xdr_authsys_parms, xdr_callhdr,
          xdr_callmsg, xdr_opaque_auth, xdr_rejected_reply,
          xdr_replymsg - XDR library routines for remote pro-
          cedure calls

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.

     #include <rpc/rpc.h>

     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 ver-
          sion number.

     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);

RPC_XDR(3N-SVR4)    RISC/os Reference Manual     RPC_XDR(3N-SVR4)



          Used for describing RPC opaque authentication informa-
          tion 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.
