DESCRIPTION

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

38   Routines
39       See rpc(3NSL) for the definition of the XDR data structure.

45       xdr_accepted_reply()    Used to translate between  RPC  reply  messages
46                               and  their external representation. It includes
47                               the status of the RPC call in the XDR  language
48                               format.   In  the  case  of  success,  it  also
49                               includes the call results.
50
51
52       xdr_authsys_parms()     Used for describing  UNIX operating system cre‐
53                               dentials.  It  includes  machine-name, uid, gid
54                               list, etc.
55
56
57       xdr_callhdr()           Used for describing RPC call  header  messages.
58                               It  encodes the static part of the call message
59                               header in the XDR language format. It  includes
60                               information such as transaction ID, RPC version
61                               number, program and version number.
62
63
64       xdr_callmsg()           Used for describing  RPC  call  messages.  This
65                               includes  all  the RPC call information such as
66                               transaction ID,  RPC  version  number,  program
67                               number, version number, authentication informa‐
68                               tion, etc. This is normally used by servers  to
69                               determine  information  about  the  client  RPC
70                               call.
71
72
73       xdr_opaque_auth()       Used for describing RPC  opaque  authentication
74                               information messages.
75
76
77       xdr_rejected_reply()    Used  for  describing  RPC  reply  messages. It
78                               encodes the rejected RPC  message  in  the  XDR
79                               language  format. The message could be rejected
80                               either because of version number  mis-match  or
81                               because of authentication errors.
82
83
84       xdr_replymsg()          Used  for  describing  RPC  reply  messages. It
85                               translates between the RPC  reply  message  and
86                               its  external  representation. This reply could
87                               be either an acceptance, rejection or NULL.
