rpc_xdr(3)


NAME

  rpc_xdr, xdr_accepted_reply, xdr_authunix_parms, xdr_callhdr, xdr_callmsg,
  xdr_opaque_auth, xdr_rejected_reply, xdr_replymsg - XDR library routines
  for ONC remote procedure calls


SYNOPSIS

  #include <rpc/xdr.h>

  xdr_accepted_reply(
	  XDR *xdrs,
	  struct accepted_reply *ar );

  xdr_authunix_parms(
	  XDR *xdrs,
	  struct authunix_parms *aupp );

  void xdr_callhdr(
	  XDR *xdrs,
	  struct rpc_msg *chdr );

  xdr_callmsg(
	  XDR *xdrs,
	  struct rpc_msg *cmsg );

  xdr_opaque_auth(
	  XDR *xdrs,
	  struct opaque_auth *ap );

  xdr_rejected_reply(
	  XDR 8xdrs,
	  struct rejected_reply *rr );

  xdr_replymsg(
	  XDR *xdrs,
	  struct rpc_msg *rmsg );


DESCRIPTION

  These routines allow C programs to make procedure calls on other machines
  across the network. First, the client calls a procedure to send a data
  packet to the server. Upon receipt of the packet, the server calls a
  dispatch routine to perform the requested service, and then sends back a
  reply. Finally, the procedure call returns to the client.

  Unless otherwise indicated, the routines described in this reference page
  are thread safe (that is, they can be used safely in a multithreaded
  environment). Routines that are not thread safe are flagged as such.

  xdr_accepted_reply()
      Encodes RPC reply messages. This routine is useful for users who wish
      to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC package.

  xdr_authunix_parms()
      Describes UNIX credentials. This routine is useful for users who wish
      to generate these credentials without using the RPC authentication
      package.

  void xdr_callhdr()
      Describes RPC call header messages. This routine is useful for users
      who wish to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC package.

  xdr_callmsg()
      Describes RPC call messages. This routine is useful for users who wish
      to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC package.

  xdr_opaque_auth()
      Describes RPC authentication information messages. This routine is
      useful for users who wish to generate RPC-style messages without using
      the RPC package.

  xdr_rejected_reply()
      Describes RPC reply messages. This routine is useful for users who want
      to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC package.

  xdr_replymsg()
      Describes RPC reply messages. This routine is useful for users who want
      to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC package.
