xdr_opaque(3)                       CLIX                       xdr_opaque(3)



  NAME

    xdr_opaque - Library function for external data representation

  LIBRARY

    Berkeley Software Distribution Library (libbsd.a)

  SYNOPSIS

    #include <sys/xdr.h>

    xdr_opaque(
      XDR *xdrs ,
      char *cp ,
      uint cnt );

  PARAMETERS

    xdrs   Specifies the address of the XDR handle.

    cp     Specifies the address of the opaque object.

    cnt    Specifies the size in bytes of the opaque object.

  DESCRIPTION

    The xdr_opaque() function allows C programmers to describe arbitrary data
    structures in a machine-independent fashion.  Data for remote procedure
    calls are transmitted using this function.

    The xdr_opaque() function is a filter primitive that translates between
    fixed size opaque data and its external representation.  The cp parameter
    is the address of the opaque object, and cnt is its size in bytes.

  RETURN VALUES

    If successful, this function returns 1.  Otherwise, it returns 0.
