xdr_opaque Subroutine

AIX Version 4.3 Communications Technical Reference, Volume 1

Translates between fixed-size opaque data and its external representation.

C Library (libc.a)

#include <rpc/xdr.h>

xdr_opaque (xdrs, cp, cnt)
XDR *xdrs;
char *cp;
u_int cnt;

The xdr_opaque subroutine is a filter primitive that translates between fixed-size opaque data and its external representation.

xdrs	Points to the eXternal Data Representation (XDR) stream handle.
cp	Specifies the address of the opaque object.
cnt	Specifies the size, in bytes, of the object. By definition, the actual data contained in the opaque object is not machine-portable.

Upon successful completion, this subroutine returns a value of 1. If unsuccessful, it returns a value of 0.

This subroutine is part of Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
