DESCRIPTION

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

Routines

39     See rpc(3) for the definition of the XDR data structure.
40
41     xdr_accepted_reply()
42            Used to translate between RPC reply messages and their external
43            representation.  It includes the status of the RPC call in the XDR
44            language format.  In the case of success, it also includes the
45            call results.
46
47     xdr_authsys_parms()
48            Used for describing UNIX operating system credentials.  It
49            includes machine-name, uid, gid list, etc.
50
51     xdr_callhdr()
52            Used for describing RPC call header messages.  It encodes the
53            static part of the call message header in the XDR language format.
54            It includes information such as transaction ID, RPC version num‐
55            ber, program and version number.
56
57     xdr_callmsg()
58            Used for describing RPC call messages.  This includes all the RPC
59            call information such as transaction ID, RPC version number, pro‐
60            gram number, version number, authentication information, etc.
61            This is normally used by servers to determine information about
62            the client RPC call.
63
64     xdr_opaque_auth()
65            Used for describing RPC opaque authentication information mes‐
66            sages.
67
68     xdr_rejected_reply()
69            Used for describing RPC reply messages.  It encodes the rejected
70            RPC message in the XDR language format.  The message could be
71            rejected either because of version number mis-match or because of
72            authentication errors.
73
74     xdr_replymsg()
75            Used for describing RPC reply messages.  It translates between the
76            RPC reply message and its external representation.  This reply
77            could be either an acceptance, rejection or NULL.
