routines.

The following table lists
XDR
routines and the manual reference pages on which they are described:
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 support asynchronous cancellation or asynchronous signals.
