NAME
     rpcxdr, xdracceptedreply, xdrauthsysparms, xdrcallhdr,
     xdrcallmsg,       xdropaqueauth,      xdrrejectedreply,
     xdrreplymsg - XDR library  routines  for  remote  procedure
     calls

SYNOPSIS
     boolt xdracceptedreply(XDR *xdrs, const struct acceptedreply *ar);


     boolt xdrauthsysparms(XDR *xdrs, struct authsysparms *aupp);


     void xdrcallhdr(XDR *xdrs, struct rpcmsg *chdr);


     boolt xdrcallmsg(XDR *xdrs, struct rpcmsg *cmsg);


     boolt xdropaqueauth(XDR *xdrs, struct opaqueauth *ap);


     boolt xdrrejectedreply(XDR *xdrs,  const struct rejectedreply *rr);


     boolt xdrreplymsg(XDR *xdrs, const struct rpcmsg *rmsg);


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  directly.  These  routines
     return TRUE if they succeed, FALSE otherwise.

  Routines
     See rpc(3NSL) for the definition of the XDR data structure.

        #include 



     xdracceptedreply()    Used to translate between RPC  reply
                             messages    and    their    external
                             representation.  It   includes   the
                             status  of  the  RPC call in the XDR
                             language format.   In  the  case  of
                             success,  it  also includes the call
                             results.


     xdrauthsysparms()     Used for describing  UNIX  operating
                             system   credentials.   It  includes

                             machine-name, uid, gid list, etc.


     xdrcallhdr()           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 ver-
                             sion number.


     xdrcallmsg()           Used for describing  RPC  call  mes-
                             sages.  This  includes  all  the RPC
                             call information such as transaction
                             ID,   RPC  version  number,  program
                             number, version number,  authentica-
                             tion  information, etc. This is nor-
                             mally used by servers  to  determine
                             information  about  the  client  RPC
                             call.


     xdropaqueauth()       Used  for  describing   RPC   opaque
                             authentication information messages.


     xdrrejectedreply()    Used for describing RPC  reply  mes-
                             sages.  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.


     xdrreplymsg()          Used for describing RPC  reply  mes-
                             sages. It translates between the RPC
                             reply  message  and   its   external
                             representation.  This reply could be
                             either an acceptance,  rejection  or
                             NUL.
