DESCRIPTION
Refer to the Solaris xdr_simple(3N) man pages for a description of how
these functions should be used.
SCL IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
The nomenclature for XDR data types can be confusing (long on Tru64
UNIX represents a 64-bit integer, although it is used to represent a
32-bit integer in the TI-RPC v2.3 sources). For the SCL implementation
of RPC on Tru64 UNIX, the following definitions apply:
XDR data type Tru64 UNIX data type
---------------------------------
xdr_char char (8 bits)
xdr_u_char unsigned char (8 bits)
xdr_short short int (16 bits)
xdr_u_short unsigned short int (16 bits)
xdr_bool, xdr_enum, xdr_int, xdr_long int (32 bits)
xdr_u_int, xdr_u_long unsigned int (32 bits)
xdr_float float (32 bits)
xdr_double, xdr_quadruple double (64 bits)
xdr_hyper, xdr_longlong_t long int (64 bits)
xdr_u_hyper, xdr_u_longlong_t unsigned long int (64 bits)
For this release of SCL RPC, the data type quadruple (128 bit floating
point values) is not supported. The function xdr_quadruple exists in
the SCL RPC library, but only accepts a double argument. For programs
that use the long double datatype on Tru64 UNIX v4, the C compiler will
emit a warning message, and treat the variable as a 64-bit double
value.
