struct accepted_reply *ar ); xdr_authunix_parms(
XDR *xdrs,
struct authunix_parms *aupp ); void xdr_callhdr(
XDR *xdrs,
struct rpc_msg *chdr ); xdr_callmsg(
XDR *xdrs,
struct rpc_msg *cmsg ); xdr_opaque_auth(
XDR *xdrs,
struct opaque_auth *ap ); xdr_rejected_reply(
XDR 8xdrs,
struct rejected_reply *rr ); xdr_replymsg(
XDR *xdrs,
struct rpc_msg *rmsg );
DESCRIPTION
These routines allow C programs to make procedure calls on other
machines across the network. First, the client calls a procedure to
send a data packet to the server. Upon receipt of the packet, the
server calls a dispatch routine to perform the requested service, and
then sends back a reply. Finally, the procedure call returns to the
client.
Unless otherwise indicated, the routines described in this reference
page are thread safe (that is, they can be used safely in a multi‐
threaded environment). Routines that are not thread safe are flagged as
such. Encodes RPC reply messages. This routine is useful for users who
wish to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC package.
Describes UNIX credentials. This routine is useful for users who wish
to generate these credentials without using the RPC authentication
package. Describes RPC call header messages. This routine is useful
for users who wish to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC
package. Describes RPC call messages. This routine is useful for users
who wish to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC package.
Describes RPC authentication information messages. This routine is use‐
ful for users who wish to generate RPC-style messages without using the
RPC package. Describes RPC reply messages. This routine is useful for
users who want to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC
package. Describes RPC reply messages. This routine is useful for
users who want to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC
package.
