NAME
     xdr - library routines for external data representation

DESCRIPTION
     These routines allow C programmers to describe arbitrary
     data structures in a machine-independent fashion.  Data for
     remote procedure calls are transmitted using these routines.

     FUNCTIONS

     xdr_array()         translate arrays to/from external
                         representation

     xdr_bool()          translate Booleans to/from external
                         representation

     xdr_bytes()         translate counted byte strings to/from
                         external representation

     xdr_destroy()       destroy XDR stream and free associated
                         memory

     xdr_double()        translate double precision to/from
                         external representation

     xdr_enum()          translate enumerations to/from external
                         representation

     xdr_float()         translate floating point to/from
                         external representation

     xdr_getpos()        return current position in XDR stream

     xdr_inline()        invoke the in-line routines associated
                         with XDR stream

     xdr_int()           translate integers to/from external
                         representation

     xdr_long()          translate long integers to/from external
                         representation

     xdr_opaque()        translate fixed-size opaque data to/from
                         external representation

     xdr_reference()     chase pointers within structures

     xdr_setpos()        change current position in XDR stream

     xdr_short()         translate short integers to/from
                         external representation
