 *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Creates an ONC RPC server handle for a non-buffered I/O UDP
    connection.
    Format
      #include  <rpc/rpc.h>
      SVCXPRT  *svcudp_create(int sock);

  1 - Arguments

 sock
    The socket with which the connection is associated. If sock is
    RPC_ANYSOCK, then this routine opens a new socket and sets sock.

  2 - Description

    Creates an RPC server handle using the UDP transport, to
    which it returns a pointer. Upon completion, xprt->xp_sock is
    the transport's socket descriptor, and xprt->xp_port is the
    transport's port number. The service is automatically registered
    as a transporter (thereby including its socket in svc_fds such
    that its socket descriptor is included in all RPC select system
    calls).

                                   NOTE
       Since UDP/IP-based ONC RPC messages can only hold up to 8
       Kbytes of encoded data, this transport cannot be used for
       procedures that take large arguments or return huge results.

  3 - Return Values

    SVCXPRT *          A pointer to the server handle.
    NULL               Indicates failure.
