xdr_complex(3c)
Standard C Library Functions xdr_complex(3C)
NAME
xdr_complex, xdr_array, xdr_bytes, xdr_opaque, xdr_pointer, xdr_refer‐
ence, xdr_string, xdr_union, xdr_vector, xdr_wrapstring - library rou‐
tines for external data representation
DESCRIPTION
XDR library routines allow C programmers to describe complex data
structures in a machine-independent fashion. Protocols such as remote
procedure calls (RPC) use these routines to describe the format of the
data. These routines are the XDR library routines for complex data
structures. They require the creation of XDR streams. See xdr_cre‐
ate(3C).
Routines
See rpc(3C) for the definition of the XDR data structure. Note that any
buffers passed to the XDR routines must be properly aligned. It is sug‐
gested either that malloc() be used to allocate these buffers, or that
the programmer ensure that the buffer address is divisible evenly by
four.
#include <rpc/xdr.h>
bool_t xdr_array(XDR *xdrs, caddr_t *arrp, uint_t *sizep, const uint_t
maxsize, const uint_t elsize, const xdrproc_t elproc);
xdr_array() translates between variable-length arrays and their
corresponding external representations. The parameter arrp is the
address of the pointer to the array, while sizep is the address of
the element count of the array; this element count cannot exceed
maxsize. The parameter elsize is the size of each of the array's
elements, and elproc is an XDR routine that translates between the
array elements' C form and their external representation. If *arrp
is NULL when decoding, xdr_array() allocates memory and *arrp
points to it. This routine returns TRUE if it succeeds, FALSE oth‐
erwise.
bool_t xdr_bytes(XDR *xdrs, char **sp, uint_t *sizep, const uint_t max‐
size);
xdr_bytes() translates between counted byte strings and their
external representations. The parameter sp is the address of the
string pointer. The length of the string is located at address
sizep; strings cannot be longer than maxsize. If *sp is NULL when
decoding, xdr_bytes() allocates memory and *sp points to it. This
routine returns TRUE if it succeeds, FALSE otherwise.
bool_t xdr_opaque(XDR *xdrs, caddr_t cp, const uint_t cnt);
xdr_opaque() translates between fixed size opaque data and its
external representation. The parameter cp is the address of the
opaque object, and cnt is its size in bytes. This routine returns
TRUE if it succeeds, FALSE otherwise.
bool_t xdr_pointer(XDR *xdrs, char **objpp, uint_t objsize, const xdr‐
proc_t xdrobj);
Like xdr_reference() except that it serializes null pointers,
whereas xdr_reference() does not. Thus, xdr_pointer() can represent
recursive data structures, such as binary trees or linked lists. If
*objpp is NULL when decoding, xdr_pointer() allocates memory and
*objpp points to it.
bool_t xdr_reference(XDR *xdrs, caddr_t *pp, uint_t size, const xdr‐
proc_t proc);
xdr_reference() provides pointer chasing within structures. The
parameter pp is the address of the pointer; size is the sizeof the
structure that *pp points to; and proc is an XDR procedure that
translates the structure between its C form and its external repre‐
sentation. If *pp is NULL when decoding, xdr_reference() allocates
memory and *pp points to it. This routine returns 1 if it succeeds,
0 otherwise.
Warning: this routine does not understand null pointers. Use
xdr_pointer() instead.
bool_t xdr_string(XDR *xdrs, char **sp, const uint_t maxsize);
xdr_string() translates between C strings and their corresponding
external representations. Strings cannot be longer than maxsize.
Note: sp is the address of the string's pointer. If *sp is NULL
when decoding, xdr_string() allocates memory and *sp points to it.
This routine returns TRUE if it succeeds, FALSE otherwise. Note:
xdr_string() can be used to send an empty string but not a null
string.
bool_t xdr_union(XDR *xdrs, enum_t *dscmp, char *unp, const struct
xdr_discrim *choices, const xdrproc_t (*defaultarm));
xdr_union() translates between a discriminated C union and its cor‐
responding external representation. It first translates the dis‐
criminant of the union located at dscmp. This discriminant is
always an enum_t. Next the union located at unp is translated. The
parameter choices is a pointer to an array of xdr_discrim struc‐
tures. Each structure contains an ordered pair of [value, proc]. If
the union's discriminant is equal to the associated value, then the
proc is called to translate the union. The end of the xdr_discrim
structure array is denoted by a routine of value NULL. If the dis‐
criminant is not found in the choices array, then the defaultarm
procedure is called (if it is not NULL). It returns TRUE if it suc‐
ceeds, FALSE otherwise.
bool_t xdr_vector(XDR *xdrs, char *arrp, const uint_t size, const
uint_t elsize, const xdrproc_t elproc);
xdr_vector() translates between fixed-length arrays and their cor‐
responding external representations. The parameter arrp is the
address of the pointer to the array, while size is the element
count of the array. The parameter elsize is the sizeof each of the
array's elements, and elproc is an XDR routine that translates
between the array elements' C form and their external representa‐
tion. This routine returns TRUE if it succeeds, FALSE otherwise.
bool_t xdr_wrapstring(XDR *xdrs, char **sp);
A routine that calls xdr_string(xdrs, sp, maxuint); where maxuint
is the maximum value of an unsigned integer.
Many routines, such as xdr_array(), xdr_pointer(), and xdr_vector()
take a function pointer of type xdrproc_t(), which takes two argu‐
ments. xdr_string(), one of the most frequently used routines,
requires three arguments, while xdr_wrapstring() only requires two.
For these routines, xdr_wrapstring() is desirable. This routine
returns TRUE if it succeeds, FALSE otherwise.
