       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 use-
       ful  for  users	who wish to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC package.	Describes RPC authentication information messages.

       rpc_xdr,  xdr_accepted_reply,  xdr_authsys_parms, xdr_callhdr, xdr_callmsg, xdr_opaque_auth, xdr_rejected_reply, xdr_replymsg - XDR library
       routines for remote procedure calls

SYNOPSIS

       bool_t xdr_accepted_reply(XDR *xdrs, const struct accepted_reply *ar);

       bool_t xdr_authsys_parms(XDR *xdrs, struct authsys_parms *aupp);

       void xdr_callhdr(XDR *xdrs, struct rpc_msg *chdr);

       bool_t xdr_callmsg(XDR *xdrs, struct rpc_msg *cmsg);

       bool_t xdr_replymsg(XDR *xdrs, const struct rpc_msg *rmsg);

DESCRIPTION

       These routines are used for describing the RPC messages in XDR language. They should normally be used by those who do not want to  use  the
       RPC package directly.  These routines return TRUE if they succeed, FALSE otherwise.

   Routines
       See rpc(3NSL) for the definition of the XDR data structure.

	#include <rpc/rpc.h>

       xdr_accepted_reply()

	   Used  to translate between RPC reply messages and their external representation. It includes the status of the RPC call in the XDR lan-
	   guage format.  In the case of success, it also includes the call results.

       xdr_authsys_parms()

	   Used for describing	UNIX operating system credentials. It includes machine-name, uid, gid list, etc.

       xdr_callhdr()

	   Used for describing RPC call header messages. It encodes the static part of the call message header in  the	XDR  language  format.	It
	   includes information such as transaction ID, RPC version number, program and version number.

       xdr_callmsg()

	   Used  for  describing RPC call messages. This includes all the RPC call information such as transaction ID, RPC version number, program
	   number, version number, authentication information, etc. This is normally used by servers to determine information about the client RPC
	   call.

       xdr_opaque_auth()

	   Used for describing RPC opaque authentication information messages.

       xdr_rejected_reply()

	   Used  for  describing RPC reply messages. It encodes the rejected RPC message in the XDR language format. The message could be rejected
	   either because of version number mis-match or because of authentication errors.

       xdr_replymsg()

	   Used for describing RPC reply messages. It translates between the RPC reply message and its external representation. This  reply  could
	   be either an acceptance, rejection or NULL.
