NAME
  rpc_xdr, xdr_accepted_reply, xdr_authunix_parms, xdr_callhdr, xdr_callmsg,
  xdr_opaque_auth, xdr_rejected_reply, xdr_replymsg - XDR library routines
  for ONC remote procedure calls

SYNOPSIS
  #include <rpc/xdr.h>

  xdr_accepted_reply(
	  XDR *xdrs,
	  struct accepted_reply *ar);

  xdr_authunix_parms(
	  XDR *xdrs,
	  struct authunix_parms *aupp);

  void xdr_callhdr(
	  XDR *xdrs,
	  struct rpc_msg *chdr);

  xdr_callmsg(
	  XDR *xdrs,
	  struct rpc_msg *cmsg);

  xdr_opaque_auth(
	  XDR *xdrs,
	  struct opaque_auth *ap);

  xdr_rejected_reply(
	  XDR *xdrs,
	  struct rejected_reply *rr);

  xdr_replymsg(
	  XDR *xdrs,
	  struct rpc_msg *rmsg);

DESCRIPTION
  These routines allow C programs to make procedure calls on other machines
  across the network.  First, the client calls a procedure to send a data
  packet to the server.	 Upon receipt of the packet, the server calls a
  dispatch routine to perform the requested service, and then sends back a
  reply.  Finally, the procedure call returns to the client.

  Unless otherwise indicated, the routines described in this reference page
  are thread safe (that is, they can be used safely in a multithreaded
  environment).	 Routines that are not thread safe are flagged as such.

  xdr_accepted_reply()
	    Encodes RPC reply messages.	 This routine is useful for users who
	    wish to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC
	    package.

  xdr_authunix_parms()
	    Describes UNIX credentials.	 This routine is useful for users who
	    wish to generate these credentials without using the RPC
	    authentication package.

  void xdr_callhdr()
	    Describes RPC call header messages.	 This routine is useful for
	    users who wish to generate RPC-style messages without using the
	    RPC package.

  xdr_callmsg()
	    Describes RPC call messages.  This routine is useful for users
	    who wish to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC
	    package.

  xdr_opaque_auth()
	    Describes RPC authentication information messages.	This routine
	    is useful for users who wish to generate RPC-style messages
	    without using the RPC package.

  xdr_rejected_reply()
	    Describes RPC reply messages.  This routine is useful for users
	    who want to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC
	    package.

  xdr_replymsg()
	    Describes RPC reply messages.  This routine is useful for users
	    who want to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC
	    package.
