Floating-Point Filter Primitives
The XDR library provides primitives that translate between floating-point data and their external representations.
Floating-point data encodes an integer with an exponent. Floats and double-precision numbers compose floating-point data.
Note: Numbers are represented as IEEE standard floating points. Subroutines
may fail when decoding IEEE representations into machine-specific
representations, or vice versa.
The subroutines for the XDR floating-point filters are:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| xdr_double | Translates between C language double-precision numbers and their external representations. |
| xdr_float | Translates between C language floats and their external representations. |
