.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These routines are used for describing the \fBRPC\fR messages in \fBXDR\fR
language. They should normally be used by those who do not want to use the
\fBRPC\fR package directly. These routines return TRUE if they succeed, FALSE
otherwise.

.RS 24n
Used to translate between \fBRPC\fR reply messages and their external
representation. It includes the status of the \fBRPC\fR call in the \fBXDR\fR
language format.  In the case of success, it also includes the call results.

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

\fB\fBxdr_callhdr()\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 24n
Used for describing \fBRPC\fR call header messages. It encodes the static part
of the call message header in the \fBXDR\fR language format. It includes
information such as transaction \fBID,\fR \fBRPC\fR version number, program and
version number.

\fB\fBxdr_callmsg()\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 24n
Used for describing \fBRPC\fR call messages. This includes all the \fBRPC\fR
call information such as transaction \fBID,\fR \fBRPC\fR version number,
program number, version number, authentication information, etc. This is
normally used by servers to determine information about the client \fBRPC\fR
call.

\fB\fBxdr_rejected_reply()\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 24n
Used for describing \fBRPC\fR reply messages. It encodes the rejected \fBRPC\fR
message in the \fBXDR\fR language format. The message could be rejected either
because of version number mis-match or because of authentication errors.

\fB\fBxdr_replymsg()\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 24n
Used for describing \fBRPC\fR reply messages. It translates between the
\fBRPC\fR reply message and its external representation. This reply could be
either an acceptance, rejection or \fINULL\fR.
