NAME

rpc_xdr:  xdr_accepted_reply, 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, const 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_authsys_parms(XDR ∗xdrs, const struct authsys_parms ∗aupp);

Used for describing operating system credentials.  It includes machine-name, uid, gid list, etc. 

void
xdr_callhdr(XDR ∗xdrs, const 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, const 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, const struct opaque_auth ∗ap);

Used for describing RPC opaque authentication information messages. 

bool_t
xdr_rejected_reply(XDR ∗xdrs, const 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, const 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.
