xdr - library routines for external data representation

---

SYNOPSIS AND DESCRIPTION

XDR routines allow C programmers to describe arbitrary data structures in a machine-independent fashion. Data for remote procedure calls (RPC) are encoded and decoded using these routines. See rpc.3n

All XDR routines require the header <rpc/xdr.h> to be included.

The XDR routines have been grouped by usage on the following man pages.

xdr_admin.3n

Library routines for managing the XDR stream. The routines documented on this page include:

xdr_getpos()
xdr_inline()
xdrrec_endofrecord()
xdrrec_eof()
xdrrec_readbytes()
xdrrec_skiprecord()
xdr_setpos()

xdr_complex.3n

Library routines for translating complex data types into their external data representation. The routines documented on this page include:

xdr_array()
xdr_bytes()
xdr_opaque()
xdr_pointer()
xdr_reference()
xdr_string()
xdr_union()
xdr_vector()
xdr_wrapstring()

xdr_create.3n

Library routines for creating XDR streams. The routines documented on this page include:

xdr_destroy()
xdrmem_create()
xdrrec_create()
xdrstdio_create()

xdr_simple.3n

Library routines for translating simple data types into their external data representation. The routines documented on this page include:

xdr_bool()
xdr_char()
xdr_double()
xdr_enum()
xdr_float()
xdr_free()
xdr_int()
xdr_long()
xdr_short()
