  11 .SH DESCRIPTION
  12 .sp
  13 .LP
  14 \fBXDR\fR library routines allow C programmers to describe arbitrary data
  15 structures in a machine-independent fashion. Protocols such as remote procedure
  16 calls (RPC) use these routines to describe the format of the data.
  17 .sp
  18 .LP
  19 These routines deal specifically with the management of the \fBXDR\fR stream.

  21 .sp
  22 .LP
  23 See \fBrpc\fR(3NSL) for the definition of the \fBXDR\fR data structure. Note
  24 that any buffers passed to the \fBXDR\fR routines must be properly aligned.  It
  25 is suggested either that \fBmalloc\fR(3C) be used to allocate these buffers, or
  26 that the programmer insure  that the buffer address is divisible evenly by
  27 four.

  39 A function macro to change or retrieve various information about an  \fBXDR\fR

  41 to the information. The supported values of \fIreq\fR is
  42 \fBXDR_GET_BYTES_AVAIL\fR and its argument type is \fBxdr_bytesrec *\fR. They
  43 return the number of bytes left unconsumed in the stream and a flag indicating
  44 whether or not this is the last fragment.
