DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       These routines allow C programs to make procedure calls on
       other machines across the network. First, the client calls
       a procedure to send a data  packet  to  the  server.  Upon
       receipt of the packet, the server calls a dispatch routine
       to perform the requested service, and then  sends  back  a
       reply.  Finally, the procedure call returns to the client.

       Unless otherwise indicated, the routines described in this
       reference  page are thread safe (that is, they can be used
       safely in a multithreaded environment). Routines that  are
       not  thread  safe  are flagged as such.  Encodes RPC reply
       messages. This routine is useful for  users  who  wish  to
       generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC package.
       Describes UNIX credentials. This  routine  is  useful  for
       users who wish to generate these credentials without using
       the RPC authentication package.  Describes RPC call header
       messages.  This  routine  is  useful for users who wish to
       generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC package.
       Describes  RPC  call  messages. This routine is useful for
       users who wish  to  generate  RPC-style  messages  without
       using  the  RPC  package.   Describes  RPC  authentication
       information messages. This routine is useful for users who
       wish  to generate RPC-style messages without using the RPC
       package.  Describes RPC reply messages.  This  routine  is
       useful  for  users who want to generate RPC-style messages
       without using the RPC package.  Describes RPC  reply  messages.
 This routine is useful for users who want to generate
