  36 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  37 These routines are used for describing the
  38 RPC messages in XDR language.
  39 They should normally be used by those who do not
  40 want to use the RPC
  41 package directly.
  42 These routines return
  43 .Dv TRUE
  44 if they succeed,
  45 .Dv FALSE
  46 otherwise.
  47 .Sh Routines
  48 See
  49 .Xr rpc 3
  50 for the definition of the
  51 .Vt XDR
  52 data structure.
  53 .Bl -tag -width XXXXX
  54 .It Fn xdr_accepted_reply
  55 Used to translate between RPC
  56 reply messages and their external representation.
  57 It includes the status of the RPC
  58 call in the XDR language format.
  59 In the case of success, it also includes the call results.
  60 .It Fn xdr_authsys_parms
  61 Used for describing
  62 .Ux
  63 operating system credentials.
  64 It includes machine-name, uid, gid list, etc.
  65 .It Fn xdr_callhdr
  66 Used for describing
  67 RPC
  68 call header messages.
  69 It encodes the static part of the call message header in the
  70 XDR language format.
  71 It includes information such as transaction
  72 ID, RPC version number, program and version number.
  73 .It Fn xdr_callmsg
  74 Used for describing
  75 RPC call messages.
  76 This includes all the RPC
  77 call information such as transaction
  78 ID, RPC version number, program number, version number,
  79 authentication information, etc.
  80 This is normally used by servers to determine information about the client
  81 RPC call.
  82 .It Fn xdr_opaque_auth
  83 Used for describing RPC
  84 opaque authentication information messages.
  85 .It Fn xdr_rejected_reply
  86 Used for describing RPC reply messages.
  87 It encodes the rejected RPC message in the XDR language format.
  88 The message could be rejected either because of version
  89 number mis-match or because of authentication errors.
  90 .It Fn xdr_replymsg
  91 Used for describing RPC
  92 reply messages.
  93 It translates between the
  94 RPC reply message and its external representation.
  95 This reply could be either an acceptance,
  96 rejection or
  97 .Dv NULL .
