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 version 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 information 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.
