  NAME

    xdr_callmsg - Library function for remote procedure calls

  LIBRARY

    Berkeley Software Distribution Library (libbsd.a)

  SYNOPSIS

    #include <sys/xdr.h>

    xdr_callmsg(
      XDR *xdrs ,
      struct rpc_msg *cmsg );

  PARAMETERS

    xdrs   Specifies the address of the XDR handle.

    cmsg   Specifies the address of the RPC message.

  DESCRIPTION

    The xdr_callmsg() function allows C programs to make procedure calls on
    other machines across the network.  First, the client calls a procedure to
    send a data packet to the server.  Upon receipt of the packet, the server
    calls a dispatch routine to perform the requested service, and then sends
    back a reply.  Finally, the procedure call returns to the client.

    The xdr_callmsg() function is used for describing RPC messages,
    externally.  This function is useful for users who wish to generate RPC-
    style messages without using the RPC package.

  RETURN VALUES

    This function returns 1 if successful, and 0 otherwise.
