XDR Basic Filter Primitives

The XDR primitives are subroutines that define the basic and constructed data types.

The basic data type filter primitives include the following:

Number Filter Primitives
The XDR library provides basic filter primitives that translate between types of numbers and their external representations.
Floating-Point Filter Primitives
The XDR library provides primitives that translate between floating-point data and their external representations.
Enumeration Filter Primitives
The XDR library provides a primitive for generic enumerations based on the assumption that a C enumeration value (enum) has the same representation.
Passing No Data
Sometimes an XDR subroutine must be supplied to the RPC system, but no data is required or passed.
