rpc_xdr: xdr_accepted_reply, xdr_authunix_parms, xdr_authsys_parms,
xdr_callhdr, xdr_callmsg, xdr_opaque_auth, xdr_rejected_reply,
xdr_replymsg - XDR library routines for remote procedure calls
DESCRIPTION
These routines are used for describing the RPC messages in XDR language.
They should normally be used by those who do not want to use the RPC
package.
Routines
See rpc(3N) for the definition of the XDR data structure.
#include <rpc/rpc.h>
bool_t
xdr_accepted_reply(XDR *xdrs, struct accepted_reply *ar);
Used for encoding RPC reply messages. It encodes the status of the
RPC call in the XDR language format, and in the case of success, it
encodes the call results also.
bool_t
xdr_authunix_parms(XDR *xdrs, struct authunix_parms *p);
Used for describing operating system credentials. It includes
machine-name, uid, gid list, etc.
bool_t
xdr_authsys_parms(XDR *xdrs, struct authsys_parms *aupp);
Used for describing operating system credentials. It includes
machine-name, uid, gid list, etc.
void
xdr_callhdr(XDR *xdrs, struct rpc_msg *chdr);
Used for describing RPC call header messages. It encodes the static
part of the call message header in the XDR language format. It
includes information such as transaction ID, RPC version number,
program and version number.
bool_t
xdr_callmsg(XDR *xdrs, struct rpc_msg *cmsg);
Used for describing RPC call messages. This includes all the RPC
call information such as transaction ID, RPC version number, program
number, version number, authentication information, etc. This is
normally used by servers to determine information about the client
RPC call.

bool_t
xdr_opaque_auth(XDR *xdrs, struct opaque_auth *ap);
Used for describing RPC opaque authentication information messages.
bool_t
xdr_rejected_reply(XDR *xdrs, struct rejected_reply *rr);
Used for describing RPC reply messages. It encodes the rejected RPC
message in the XDR language format. The message could be rejected
either because of version number mis-match or because of
authentication errors.
bool_t
xdr_replymsg(XDR *xdrs, struct rpc_msg *rmsg);
Used for describing RPC reply messages. It encodes all the RPC
reply message in the XDR language format This reply could be either
an acceptance, rejection or NULL.
