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
     xdr_string()          translate null-terminated strings to/from external representation
     xdr_u_int()           translate unsigned integers to/from external representation
     xdr_u_long()          translate unsigned long integers to/from external representation
     xdr_u_short()         translate unsigned short integers to/from external representation
     xdr_union()           translate discriminated unions to/from external representation
     xdr_void()            always return one (1)
     xdr_wrapstring()      package RPC  routine for XDR routine, or vice-versa
     xdrmem_create()       initialize an XDR stream
     xdrrec_create()       initialize an XDR stream with record boundaries
     xdrrec_endofrecord()  mark XDR record stream with an end-of-record
     xdrrec_eof()          mark XDR record stream with an end-of-file
     xdrrec_skiprecord()   skip remaining record in XDR record stream
     xdrstdio_create()     initialize an XDR stream as standard I/O FILE stream
