Passing Structure with Pointers Example

Edit online

This section describes the procedure for passing structure with pointers example.

The following example calls the previously written xdr_simple routine as well as the built-in xdr_string and xdr_reference functions. The xdr_reference routine chases pointers.


struct finalexample {
    char *string;
    struct simple *simplep;
} finalexample;


xdr_finalexample(xdrsp, finalp)
    XDR *xdrsp;
    struct finalexample *finalp;
{


    if (!xdr_string(xdrsp, &finalp->string, MAXSTRLEN))
        return (0);
    if (!xdr_reference(xdrsp, &finalp->simplep,
     sizeof(struct simple), xdr_simple);
        return (0);
    return (1);
}
