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(3) for the definition of the
XDR data structure.
-
-
- xdr_accepted_reply()
- 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.
-
-
- xdr_authsys_parms()
- Used for describing UNIX operating system credentials. It
includes machine-name, uid, gid list, etc.
-
-
- xdr_callhdr()
- 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 version number.
-
-
- xdr_callmsg()
- Used for describing RPC call messages. This includes all
the RPC call information such as transaction ID, RPC version number,
program number, version number, authentication information, etc. This is
normally used by servers to determine information about the client RPC
call.
-
-
- xdr_opaque_auth()
- Used for describing RPC opaque authentication information
messages.
-
-
- xdr_rejected_reply()
- Used for describing RPC reply messages. 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.
-
-
- xdr_replymsg()
- Used for describing RPC reply messages. It translates
between the RPC reply message and its external representation. This reply
could be either an acceptance, rejection or
NULL
.
