XDR_INIT_ENCODE(9) Linux Networking XDR_INIT_ENCODE(9)NAMExdr_init_encode - Initialize a struct xdr_stream for sending data.
SYNOPSIS
void xdr_init_encode(struct xdr_stream * xdr, struct xdr_buf * buf,
__be32 * p);
ARGUMENTS
xdr
pointer to xdr_stream struct
buf
pointer to XDR buffer in which to encode data
p
current pointer inside XDR buffer
NOTE
at the moment the RPC client only passes the length of our scratch
buffer in the xdr_buf´s header kvec. Previously this meant we needed to
call xdr_adjust_iovec after encoding the data. With the new scheme, the
xdr_stream manages the details of the buffer length, and takes care of
adjusting the kvec length for us.
