#include <rpc/xdr.h>
xdr_float ( xdrs, fp)
XDR *xdrs;
float *fp;
The xdr_float subroutine is a filter primitive that translates between C language floats (normalized single-precision floating-point numbers) and their external representations.
xdrs | Points to the eXternal Data Representation (XDR) stream handle. |
fp | Specifies the address of the float. |
Upon successful completion, this subroutine returns a value of 1. If unsuccessful, it returns a value of 0.
