  NAME

    xdr_replymsg - Library function for remote procedure calls

  LIBRARY

    Berkeley Software Distribution Library (libbsd.a)

  SYNOPSIS

    #include <sys/xdr.h>

    xdr_replymsg(
      XDR *xdrs ,
      struct rpc_msg *rmsg );

  PARAMETERS

    xdrs   Specifies the address of the XDR handle.

    rmsg   Specifies the address of the RPC reply message.

  DESCRIPTION

    The xdr_replymsg() 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_replymsg() 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.
