xdr_init_encode (9) Linux Manual Page
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.
