NAME xdr_simple: xdr_bool, xdr_char, xdr_double, xdr_enum, xdr_float, xdr_free, xdr_hyper, xdr_int32, xdr_int64, xdr_int, xdr_long, xdr_longlong, xdr_longlong_t, xdr_short, xdr_time_t, xdr_u_char, xdr_u_hyper, xdr_u_int, xdr_u_long, xdr_u_longlong, xdr_u_longlong_t, xdr_u_short, xdr_uint32, xdr_uint64, xdr_void - library routines for external data representation DESCRIPTION XDR library routines allow C programmers to describe simple data structures in a machine-independent fashion. Protocols such as remote procedure calls (RPC) use these routines to describe the format of the data. These routines require the creation of XDR streams [see xdr_create(3N)]. Routines See rpc(3N) for the definition of the XDR data structure. #include <rpc/xdr.h> bool_t xdr_bool(XDR *xdrs, bool_t *bp); xdr_bool translates between booleans (C integers) and their external representations. When encoding data, this filter produces values of either 1 or 0. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds, 0 otherwise. bool_t xdr_char(XDR *xdrs, char *cp); xdr_char translates between C characters and their external representations. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds, 0 otherwise. Note: encoded characters are not packed, and occupy 4 bytes each. For arrays of characters, it is worthwhile to consider xdr_bytes, xdr_opaque or xdr_string [see xdr_bytes, xdr_opaque and xdr_string in xdr_complex(3N)]. bool_t xdr_double(XDR *xdrs, double *dp); xdr_double translates between C double precision numbers and their external representations. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds, 0 otherwise. bool_t xdr_enum(XDR *xdrs, enum_t *ep); xdr_enum translates between C enums (actually integers) and their external representations. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds, 0 otherwise. bool_t xdr_float(XDR *xdrs, float *fp); xdr_float translates between C floats and their external representations. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds, 0 otherwise. void xdr_free(xdrproc_t proc, char *objp); Generic freeing routine. The first argument is the XDR routine for the object being freed. The second argument is a pointer to the object itself. Note: the pointer passed to this routine is not freed, but what it points to is freed (recursively). bool_t xdr_int(XDR *xdrs, int *ip); bool_t xdr_int32(XDR *xdrs, int *ip); xdr_int translates between C integers and their external representations. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds, 0 otherwise. xdr_int32 is a synonym for xdr_int. bool_t xdr_long(XDR *xdrs, long *lp); xdr_long translates between C long integers and their external representations. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds, 0 otherwise. Note: In the IRIX 64-bit ABI, this routine may be somewhat misleading. The external representation of a long integer is defined by the XDR standard to be a 32 bit encoding, but in the IRIX 64-bit ABI, a long integer is 64 bits. Hence, in the IRIX 64-bit ABI, long integers are truncated by xdr_long, and xdr_long is only useful for encoding/decoding values in the range of -2147483648 to 2147483647. bool_t xdr_longlong_t(XDR *xdrs, __int64_t *lp); bool_t xdr_longlong(XDR *xdrs, __int64_t *lp); bool_t xdr_int64(XDR *xdrs, __int64_t *lp); bool_t xdr_hyper(XDR *xdrs, __int64_t *lp); xdr_longlong_t translates between C 64-bit integers and their external representations. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds, 0 otherwise. xdr_longlong, xdr_hyper and xdr_int64 are synonyms for xdr_longlong_t. bool_t xdr_short(XDR *xdrs, short *sp); xdr_short translates between C short integers and their external representations. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds, 0 otherwise. bool_t xdr_time_t(XDR *xdrs, time_t *tp); xdr_time_t translates between local representation of time_t, which on Irix is a 32bit integer, and its external representations. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds, 0 otherwise. bool_t xdr_u_char(XDR *xdrs, char *ucp); xdr_u_char translates between unsigned C characters and their external representations. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds, 0 otherwise. bool_t xdr_u_int(XDR *xdrs, unsigned int *ip); bool_t xdr_uint32(XDR *xdrs, unsigned int *ip); xdr_u_int translates between unsigned C integers and their external representations. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds, 0 otherwise. xdr_uint32 is a synonym for xdr_u_int. bool_t xdr_u_long(XDR *xdrs, unsigned long *ulp); xdr_u_long translates between C unsigned long integers and their external representations. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds, 0 otherwise. Note: In the IRIX 64-bit ABI, this routine may be somewhat misleading. The external representation of an unsigned long integer is defined by the XDR standard to be a 32 bit encoding, but in the IRIX 64-bit ABI, an unsigned long integer is 64 bits. Hence, in the IRIX 64-bit ABI, unsigned long integers are truncated by xdr_u_long, and xdr_u_long is only useful for encoding/decoding values in the range of 0 to 4294967295. bool_t xdr_u_longlong_t(XDR *xdrs, __uint64_t *lp); bool_t xdr_u_longlong(XDR *xdrs, __uint64_t *lp); bool_t xdr_uint64(XDR *xdrs, __uint64_t *lp); bool_t xdr_u_hyper(XDR *xdrs, __uint64_t *lp); xdr_u_longlong_t translates between C unsigned 64-bit integers and their external representations. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds, 0 otherwise. xdr_u_longlong, xdr_u_hyper and xdr_uint64 are synonyms for xdr_u_longlong_t. bool_t xdr_u_short(XDR *xdrs, unsigned short *usp); xdr_u_short translates between C unsigned short integers and their external representations. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds, 0 otherwise. bool_t xdr_void(XDR *xdrs, void *vp); This routine always returns 1. It may be passed to RPC routines that require a function parameter, where nothing is to be done. SEE ALSO rpc(3N), xdr(3N), xdr_admin(3N), xdr_complex(3N), xdr_create(3N)
