xdr_vector()

The xdr_vector() call translates between a fixed-length array and its external representation.

Syntax

#include <rpc\rpc.h>

bool_t
xdr_vector(xdrs, basep, nelem, elemsize, xdr_elem)
XDR *xdrs;
char *basep;
u_int nelem;
u_int elemsize;
xdrproc_t xdr_elem

Parameters

xdrs

Pointer to the XDR stream.

Pointer to the base of the array.

Element count of the array.

Size of each of the array's elements, found by using the sizeof() operator.

Pointer to the XDR routine that translates an individual array element.

Description

The xdr_vector() call translates between a fixed-length array and its external representation. Unlike variable-length arrays, the storage of fixed-length arrays is static and unfreeable.

Return Values

The value 1 indicates success; the value 0 indicates an error.
