XDR(3N)

NAME
xdr - library routines for external data representation

DESCRIPTION
These routines allow C programmers to describe arbitrary data structures in a machine-independent fashion. Data for remote procedure calls are transmitted using these routines.

FUNCTIONS
xdr_array()	translate arrays to/from external representation
xdr_bool()	translate Booleans to/from external representation
xdr_bytes()	translate counted byte strings to/from external
	representation
xdr_destroy()	destroy XDR stream and free associated memory
xdr_double()	translate double precision to/from external
	representation
xdr_enum()	translate enumerations to/from external
	representation
xdr_float()	translate floating point to/from external
	representation
xdr_getpos()	return current position in XDR stream
xdr_inline()	invoke the in-line routines associated with XDR
	stream
xdr_int()	translate integers to/from external representation
xdr_long()	translate long integers to/from external
	representation
xdr_opaque()	translate fixed-size opaque data to/from external
	representation
xdr_reference()	chase pointers within structures
xdr_setpos()	change current position in XDR stream
xdr_short()	translate short integers to/from external
	representation
xdr_string()	translate null-terminated strings to/from external
	representation
xdr_u_int()	translate unsigned integers to/from external
	representation
xdr_u_long()	translate unsigned long integers to/from external
	representation
xdr_u_short()	translate unsigned short integers to/from external
	representation
xdr_union()	translate discriminated unions to/from external
	representation
xdr_void()	always return one (1)
xdr_wrapstring()	package RPC routine for XDR routine, or vice-versa
xdrmem_create()	initialize an XDR stream
xdrrec_create()	initialize an XDR stream with record boundaries
xdrrec_endofrecord()	mark XDR record stream with an end-of-record
xdrrec_eof()	mark XDR record stream with an end-of-file
xdrrec_skiprecord()	skip remaining record in XDR record stream
xdrstdio_create()	initialize an XDR stream as standard I/O FILE stream
