String Filter Primitives
A string is a constructed filter primitive that consists of a sequence of bytes terminated by a null byte.
The null byte does not figure into the length of the string. Externally, strings are represented by a sequence of ASCII characters. Internally, XDR uses the char * designation to represent pointers to strings.
The XDR library includes primitives for the following string routines:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| xdr_string | Translates between C language strings and their external representations. |
| xdr_wrapstring | Calls the xdr_string subroutine. |
