xdr_inline()

Format

#include <rpc.h>
long *
xdr_inline(xdrs, len)
XDR *xdrs;
int len;

Parameters

xdrs: Indicates the pointer to an XDR stream.
len: Specifies the byte length of the desired buffer.

Usage

The xdr_inline() call returns a pointer to a continuous piece of the XDR stream buffer. The value is long * rather than char *, because the external data representation of any object is always an integer multiple of 32 bits.

Note: xdr_inline() can return NULL if there is not sufficient space in the stream buffer to satisfy the request.

Return codes

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