NAME
     rpcxdr:   xdracceptedreply, xdrauthsysparms,
     xdrcallhdr, xdrcallmsg, xdropaqueauth,
     xdrrejectedreply, xdrreplymsg - 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>
     boolt
     xdracceptedreply(XDR *xdrs, const struct acceptedreply *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.

          boolt
          xdrauthsysparms(XDR *xdrs, const struct authsysparms *aupp);

          Used for describing operating system  credentials.   It
          includes machine-name, uid, gid list, etc.
          void
          xdrcallhdr(XDR *xdrs, const struct rpcmsg *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 ver-
          sion number.

          boolt
          xdrcallmsg(XDR *xdrs, const struct rpcmsg *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.
          boolt
          xdropaqueauth(XDR *xdrs, const struct opaqueauth *ap);

          Used for describing RPC opaque authentication  informa-
          tion messages.

          boolt

          xdrrejectedreply(XDR *xdrs, const struct rejectedreply *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.

          boolt
          xdrreplymsg(XDR *xdrs, const struct rpcmsg *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.
