VMS Help TCPIP Services, Programming Interfaces, RPC XDR Routines, xdrrec_skiprecord  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Guarantees proper record alignment during deserialization from an
    incoming stream.
    Format
      #include  <tcpip$rpcxdr.h>
      bool_t xdrrec_skiprecord  (XDR *xdrs);

1 - Arguments

 xdrs
    A pointer to an XDR stream handle created by one of the XDR
    stream handle creation routines.

2 - Description

    This routine ensures that the stream is properly aligned in
    preparation for a subsequent read. It is recommended that when
    a record stream is being used, this routine is called prior to
    any operations that would read from the stream.

    This routine is similar to the xdrrec_eof routine, except that
    this routine does not verify if there is more data in the buffer.

3 - Return Values

    TRUE               Indicates success.
    FALSE              Indicates failure.
