XDR Data Types

This section defines the basic and constructed data types in the eXternal Data Representation (XDR) standard.

The following basic and constructed data types are defined in the eXternal Data Representation (XDR) standard:

A general paradigm declaration is shown for each type. The < and > (angle brackets) denote variable-length sequences of data, while the [ and ] (square brackets) denote fixed-length sequences of data. The letters n, m, and r denote integers. See Using an XDR Data Description Example for an extensive example of the data types.
