67  * \brief
68  * Functions to marshall and unmarshall various system data structures. We
69  * use a printable ascii format that is as close to various system config
70  * files as reasonable (e.g. /etc/passwd format).
71  *
72  * We are not forgiving with unmarhsalling misformatted buffers. In
73  * particular whitespace in fields is not ignored. So a formatted password
74  * entry "brister  :1364:100:...." will yield a username of "brister   "
75  *
76  * We potentially do a lot of mallocs to fill fields that are of type
77  * (char **) like a hostent h_addr field. Building (for example) the
78  * h_addr field and its associated addresses all in one buffer is
79  * certainly possible, but not done here.
80  *
81  * The following description is true for all the marshalling functions:
82  *
83  * int irp_marshall_XX(struct yyyy *XX, char **buffer, size_t *len);
84  *
85  * The argument XX (of type struct passwd for example) is marshalled in the
86  * buffer pointed at by *BUFFER, which is of length *LEN. Returns 0
87  * on success and -1 on failure. Failure will occur if *LEN is
88  * smaller than needed.
89  *
90  * If BUFFER is NULL, then *LEN is set to the size of the buffer
91  * needed to marshall the data and no marshalling is actually done.
92  *
93  * If *BUFFER is NULL, then a buffer large enough will be allocated
94  * with memget() and the size allocated will be stored in *LEN. An extra 2
95  * bytes will be allocated for the client to append CRLF if wanted. The
96  * value of *LEN will include these two bytes.
97  *
98  * All the marshalling functions produce a buffer with the fields
99  * separated by colons (except for the hostent marshalling, which uses '@'
100  * to separate fields). Fields that have multiple subfields (like the
101  * gr_mem field in struct group) have their subparts separated by
102  * commas.
103  *
104  * int irp_unmarshall_XX(struct YYYYY *XX, char *buffer);
105  *
106  * The unmashalling functions break apart the buffer and store the
107  * values in the struct pointed to by XX. All pointer values inside
108  * XX are allocated with malloc. All arrays of pointers have a NULL
109  * as the last element.
