Memory Streams
XDR data streams serialize and deserialize data from memory by calling the XDR memory creation subroutine to initialize in local memory the XDR stream pointed to by the xdrs parameter.
In RPC, the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Internet Protocol (IP) implementation uses this subroutine to build entire call-and-reply messages in memory before sending a message to the recipient.
The XDR library includes the following subroutine for memory data streams:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| xdrmem_create | Initializes in local memory the XDR stream pointed to by the xdrs parameter. |
