NAME

6       xdr_init_encode - Initialize a struct xdr_stream for sending data.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       void xdr_init_encode(struct xdr_stream * xdr, struct xdr_buf * buf,
10                            __be32 * p);
11

ARGUMENTS

13       xdr
14           pointer to xdr_stream struct
15
16       buf
17           pointer to XDR buffer in which to encode data
18
19       p
20           current pointer inside XDR buffer
21

NOTE

23       at the moment the RPC client only passes the length of our scratch
24       buffer in the xdr_buf's header kvec. Previously this meant we needed to
25       call xdr_adjust_iovec after encoding the data. With the new scheme, the
26       xdr_stream manages the details of the buffer length, and takes care of
27       adjusting the kvec length for us.
