-.SH NAME
-xdr \- library routines for external data representation
-.SH SYNOPSIS AND DESCRIPTION
-.LP
-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.
-.LP

-.sp .5
-xdr_array(xdrs, arrp, sizep, maxsize, elsize, elproc)
-\s-1XDR\s0 *xdrs;
-char **arrp;
-u_int *sizep, maxsize, elsize;
-xdrproc_t elproc;
-.fi
-.ft R
-.IP
-A filter primitive that translates between variable-length
-arrays
-and their corresponding external representations.
-The
-parameter
-.I arrp
-is the address of the pointer to the array, while
-.I sizep
-is the address of the element count of the array;
-this element count cannot exceed
-.IR maxsize .
-The parameter
-.I elsize
-is the
-.I sizeof
-each of the array's elements, and
-.I elproc
-is an
-.SM XDR
-filter that translates between
-the array elements' C form, and their external
-representation.
-This routine returns one if it succeeds, zero otherwise.

-xdr_bool(xdrs, bp)
-\s-1XDR\s0 *xdrs;
-bool_t *bp;
-.fi
-.ft R
-.IP
-A filter primitive that translates between booleans (C
-integers)
-and their external representations.
-When encoding data, this
-filter produces values of either one or zero.
-This routine returns one if it succeeds, zero otherwise.
-.br
-.if t .ne 10
-.LP
-.ft B
-.nf
-.sp .5
-xdr_bytes(xdrs, sp, sizep, maxsize)
-\s-1XDR\s0 *xdrs;
-char **sp;
-u_int *sizep, maxsize;
-.fi
-.ft R
-.IP
-A filter primitive that translates between counted byte
-strings and their external representations.
-The parameter
-.I sp
-is the address of the string pointer.
-The length of the
-string is located at address
-.IR sizep ;
-strings cannot be longer than
-.IR maxsize .
-This routine returns one if it succeeds, zero otherwise.

-.ft B
-.nf
-.sp .5
-xdr_char(xdrs, cp)
-\s-1XDR\s0 *xdrs;
-char *cp;
-.fi
-.ft R
-.IP
-A filter primitive that translates between C characters
-and their external representations.
-This routine returns one if it succeeds, zero otherwise.
-Note: encoded characters are not packed, and occupy 4 bytes
-each.
-For arrays of characters, it is worthwhile to
-consider
-.BR xdr_bytes(\|) ,
-.B xdr_opaque(\|)
-or
-.BR xdr_string(\|) .

-.LP
-.ft B
-.nf
-.sp .5
-void
-xdr_destroy(xdrs)
-\s-1XDR\s0 *xdrs;
-.fi
-.ft R
-.IP
-A macro that invokes the destroy routine associated with the
-.SM XDR
-stream,
-.IR xdrs .
-Destruction usually involves freeing private data structures
-associated with the stream. Using
-.I xdrs
-after invoking
-.B xdr_destroy(\|)
-is undefined.

-.ft B

-xdr_double(xdrs, dp)
-\s-1XDR\s0 *xdrs;
-double *dp;
-.fi
-.ft R

-A filter primitive that translates between C

-xdr_enum(xdrs, ep)
-\s-1XDR\s0 *xdrs;
-enum_t *ep;
-.fi
-.ft R

-A filter primitive that translates between C
-.BR enum s
-(actually integers) and their external representations.
-This routine returns one if it succeeds, zero otherwise.

-\s-1XDR\s0 *xdrs;

-.sp .5
-void
-xdr_free(proc, objp)
-xdrproc_t proc;
-char *objp;
-.fi
-.ft R
-.IP
-Generic freeing routine.
-The first argument is the
-.SM 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
-.I not
-freed, but what it points to
-.I is
-freed (recursively).

-u_int
-xdr_getpos(xdrs)
-\s-1XDR\s0 *xdrs;
-.fi
-.ft R
-.IP
-A macro that invokes the get-position routine
-associated with the
-.SM XDR
-stream,
-.IR xdrs .
-The routine returns an unsigned integer,
-which indicates the position of the
-.SM XDR
-byte stream.
-A desirable feature of
-.SM XDR
-streams is that simple arithmetic works with this number,
-although the
-.SM XDR
-stream instances need not guarantee this.

-xdr_inline(xdrs, len)
-\s-1XDR\s0 *xdrs;
-int len;
-.fi
-.ft R
-.IP
-A macro that invokes the in-line routine associated with the
-.SM XDR
-stream,
-.IR xdrs .
-The routine returns a pointer
-to a contiguous piece of the stream's buffer;
-.I len
-is the byte length of the desired buffer.
-Note: pointer is cast to
-.BR "long *" .
-.IP
-Warning:
-.B xdr_inline(\|)
-may return
-.SM NULL
-(0)
-if it cannot allocate a contiguous piece of a buffer.
-Therefore the behavior may vary among stream instances;
-it exists for the sake of efficiency.

-.fi
-.ft R

-This routine initializes the

-The stream's data is written to, or read from,
-a chunk of memory at location
-.I addr
-whose length is no more than

-determines the direction of the

-xdr_opaque(xdrs, cp, cnt)
-\s-1XDR\s0 *xdrs;

-.ft R
-.IP
-A filter primitive that translates between fixed size opaque
-data
-and its external representation.
-The parameter

-is the address of the opaque object, and

-is its size in bytes.

-.fi
-.ft R
-.IP
-Like

-execpt that it serializes

-\s-1XDR\s0 *xdrs;
-u_int sendsize, recvsize;
-char *handle;
-int (*readit) (\|), (*writeit) (\|);
-.fi
-.ft R
-.IP
-This routine initializes the
-.SM XDR
-stream object pointed to by
-.IR xdrs .
-The stream's data is written to a buffer of size
-.IR sendsize ;
-a value of zero indicates the system should use a suitable
-default.
-The stream's data is read from a buffer of size
-.IR recvsize ;
-it too can be set to a suitable default by passing a zero
-value.
-When a stream's output buffer is full,
-.I writeit
-is called. Similarly, when a stream's input buffer is empty,
-.I readit
-is called. The behavior of these two routines is similar to
-the
-system calls
-.B read
-and
-.BR write ,
-except that
-.I handle
-is passed to the former routines as the first parameter.
-Note: the
-.SM XDR
-stream's
-.I op
-field must be set by the caller.
-.IP
-Warning: this
-.SM XDR
-stream implements an intermediate record stream.
-Therefore there are additional bytes in the stream
-to provide record boundary information.

-The data in the output buffer is marked as a completed

-\s-1XDR\s0 *xdrs;

-This routine can be invoked only on

-A primitive that provides pointer chasing within structures.
-The parameter

-is the address of the pointer;
-.I size
-is the

-the structure that

-points to; and

-A macro that invokes the set position routine associated with

-.IR xdrs .
-The parameter
-.I pos
-is a position value obtained from

-This routine returns one if the

-Warning: it is difficult to reposition some types of

-.fi
-.ft R

-A filter primitive that translates between a discriminated C
-.B union
-and its corresponding external representation.
-It first
-translates the discriminant of the union located at
-.IR dscmp .
-This discriminant is always an
-.BR enum_t .
-Next the union located at
-.I unp
-is translated. The parameter
-.I choices
-is a pointer to an array of
-.B xdr_discrim(\|)
-structures.
-Each structure contains an ordered pair of
-.RI [ value , proc ].
-If the union's discriminant is equal to the associated
-.IR value ,
-then the
-.I proc
-is called to translate the union. The end of the
-.B xdr_discrim(\|)
-structure array is denoted by a routine of value
-.SM NULL\s0.
-If the discriminant is not found in the
-.I choices
-array, then the
-.I defaultarm

-.I arrp
-is the address of the pointer to the array, while

-where
-.B
-.SM MAXUN.UNSIGNED
-is the maximum value of an unsigned integer.
-.B xdr_wrapstring(\|)
-is handy because the
