Translates between variable-length arrays and their corresponding external representations.
C Library (libc.a)
The xdr_array subroutine is a filter primitive that translates between variable-length arrays and their corresponding external representations. This subroutine is called to encode or decode each element of the array.
Item | Description |
---|---|
xdrs | Points to the eXternal Data Representation (XDR) stream handle. |
arrp | Specifies the address of the pointer to the array. If the arrp parameter is null when the array is being deserialized, the XDR program allocates an array of the appropriate size and sets the parameter to that array. |
sizep | Specifies the address of the element count of the array. The element count cannot exceed the value for the maxsize parameter. |
maxsize | Specifies the maximum number of array elements. |
elsize | Specifies the byte size of each of the array elements. |
elproc | Translates between the C form of the array elements and their external representations. This parameter is an XDR filter. |
