DESCRIPTION

36     These routines are used for describing the RPC messages in XDR language.
37     They should normally be used by those who do not want to use the RPC
38     package directly.  These routines return TRUE if they succeed, FALSE oth‐
39     erwise.

Routines

42     See rpc(3) for the definition of the XDR data structure.
43
44     xdr_accepted_reply()
45            Used to translate between RPC reply messages and their external
46            representation.  It includes the status of the RPC call in the XDR
47            language format.  In the case of success, it also includes the
48            call results.
49
50     xdr_authsys_parms()
51            Used for describing UNIX operating system credentials.  It
52            includes machine-name, uid, gid list, etc.
53
54     xdr_callhdr()
55            Used for describing RPC call header messages.  It encodes the
56            static part of the call message header in the XDR language format.
57            It includes information such as transaction ID, RPC version num‐
58            ber, program and version number.
59
60     xdr_callmsg()
61            Used for describing RPC call messages.  This includes all the RPC
62            call information such as transaction ID, RPC version number, pro‐
63            gram number, version number, authentication information, etc.
64            This is normally used by servers to determine information about
65            the client RPC call.
66
67     xdr_opaque_auth()
68            Used for describing RPC opaque authentication information mes‐
69            sages.
70
71     xdr_rejected_reply()
72            Used for describing RPC reply messages.  It encodes the rejected
73            RPC message in the XDR language format.  The message could be
74            rejected either because of version number mis-match or because of
75            authentication errors.
76
77     xdr_replymsg()
78            Used for describing RPC reply messages.  It translates between the
79            RPC reply message and its external representation.  This reply
80            could be either an acceptance, rejection or NULL.
