NAME
     rpc_xdr:   xdr_accepted_reply, xdr_authunix_parms, 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_authunix_parms(XDR *xdrs, const struct authunix_parms *p);

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

     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.
