35 These routines are used for describing the

37 They should normally be used by those who do not

52 .It Fn xdr_accepted_reply
53 Used to translate between RPC
54 reply messages and their external representation.
55 It includes the status of the RPC
56 call in the XDR language format.
57 In the case of success, it also includes the call results.
58 .It Fn xdr_authsys_parms
61 operating system credentials.
62 It includes machine-name, uid, gid list, etc.
67 It encodes the static part of the call message header in the
69 It includes information such as transaction
70 ID, RPC version number, program and version number.
74 This includes all the RPC
75 call information such as transaction
76 ID, RPC version number, program number, version number,
77 authentication information, etc.
78 This is normally used by servers to determine information about the client
80 .It Fn xdr_opaque_auth
81 Used for describing RPC
82 opaque authentication information messages.
83 .It Fn xdr_rejected_reply
84 Used for describing RPC reply messages.
85 It encodes the rejected RPC message in the XDR language format.
86 The message could be rejected either because of version
87 number mis-match or because of authentication errors.
89 Used for describing RPC
91 It translates between the
92 RPC reply message and its external representation.
93 This reply could be either an acceptance,
