58 * XDR an indirect pointer
59 * xdr_reference is for recursively translating a structure that is

61 * translated. pp references a pointer to storage. If *pp is null
62 * the necessary storage is allocated.
63 * size is the size of the referneced structure.
64 * proc is the routine to handle the referenced structure.
