| XDR_INIT_ENCODE(9) | Linux Networking | XDR_INIT_ENCODE(9) |
NAME¶
xdr_init_encode - Initialize a struct xdr_stream for sending data.
SYNOPSIS¶
void xdr_init_encode(struct xdr_stream * xdr, struct xdr_buf * buf, __be32 * p);
ARGUMENTS¶
xdr
pointer to xdr_stream struct
buf
pointer to XDR buffer in which to encode data
p
current pointer inside XDR buffer
NOTE¶
at the moment the RPC client only passes the length of our scratch buffer in the xdr_buf´s header kvec. Previously this meant we needed to call xdr_adjust_iovec after encoding the data. With the new scheme, the xdr_stream manages the details of the buffer length, and takes care of adjusting the kvec length for us.
