NAME

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

#include <rpc/rpc.h>

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_opaque_auth(XDR *xdrs, struct opaque_auth *ap);

bool_t xdr_rejected_reply(XDR *xdrs, const struct rejected_reply *rr);

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.

Routines

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

bool_t 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 language format. In the case of success, it also includes the call results.

bool_t xdr_authsys_parms()

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

void 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.

bool_t 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.

bool_t xdr_opaque_auth()

Used for describing RPC opaque authentication information messages.

bool_t 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.

bool_t 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.

MULTITHREAD USAGE

Thread Safe:

Yes

Cancel Safe:

Yes

Fork Safe:

No

Async-cancel Safe:

No

Async-signal Safe:

No

These functions can be called safely in a multithreaded environment. They may be cancellation points in that they call functions that are cancel points.

In a multithreaded environment, these functions are not safe to be called by a child process after fork() and before exec(). These functions should not be called by a multithreaded application that supports asynchronous cancellation or asynchronous signals.

RETURN VALUE

These routines return TRUE if they succeed, FALSE otherwise.
