The xdr_string subroutine is a filter primitive that translates between C language strings and their corresponding external representations. Externally, strings are represented as sequences of ASCII characters, while internally, they are represented with character pointers.
Upon successful completion, this subroutine returns a value of 1. If unsuccessful, it returns a value of 0.
