List of XDR Programming References

The list of eXternal Data Representation (XDR) programming references includes:

XDR Library Filter Primitives

xdr_array Translates between variable-length arrays and their corresponding external representations.
xdr_bool Translates between Booleans and their external representations.
xdr_bytes Translates between internal counted byte string arrays and their external representations.
xdr_char Translates between C language characters and their external representations.
xdr_double Translates between C language double-precision numbers and their external representations.
xdr_enum Translates between C language enumerations and their external representations.
xdr_float Translates between C language floats and their external representations.
xdr_int Translates between C language integers and their external representations.
xdr_long Translates between C language long integers and their external representations.
xdr_opaque Translates between opaque data and its external representation.
xdr_reference Provides pointer chasing within structures.
xdr_short Translates between C language short integers and their external representations.
xdr_string Translates between C language strings and their external representations.
xdr_u_char Translates between unsigned C language characters and their external representations.
xdr_u_int Translates between C language unsigned integers and their external representations.
xdr_u_long Translates between C language unsigned long integers and their external representations.
xdr_u_short Translates between C language unsigned short integers and their external representations.
xdr_union Translates between discriminated unions and their external representations.
xdr_vector Translates between fixed-length arrays and their corresponding external representations.
xdr_void Supplies an XDR subroutine to the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) system without transmitting data.
xdr_wrapstring Calls the xdr_string subroutine.

XDR Library Non-Filter Primitives

xdr_destroy Destroys the XDR stream pointed to by the xdrs parameter.
xdr_free Deallocates or frees memory.
xdr_getpos Returns an unsigned integer that describes the current position in the data stream.
xdr_inline Returns a pointer to an internal piece of the buffer of a stream, pointed to by the xdrs parameter.
xdr_pointer Provides pointer chasing within structures and serializes null pointers.
xdr_setpos Changes the current position in the XDR stream.
xdrmem_create Initializes in local memory the XDR stream pointed to by the xdrs parameter.
xdrrec_create Provides an XDR stream that can contain long sequences of records.
xdrrec_endofrecord Causes the current outgoing data to be marked as a record.
xdrrec_eof Checks the buffer for an input stream.
xdrrec_skiprecord Causes the position of an input stream to move to the beginning of the next record.
xdrstdio_create Initializes the XDR data stream pointed to by the xdrs parameter.
