Name

xdr_init_encode — Initialize a struct xdr_stream for sending data.

Synopsis

void xdr_init_encode (struct xdr_stream *  xdr,
 struct xdr_buf *  buf,
 __be32 *  p);

Arguments

xdr

pointer to xdr_stream struct

buf

pointer to XDR buffer in which to encode data

p

current pointer inside XDR buffer

Note

at the moment the RPC client only passes the length of our scratch buffer in the xdr_buf's header kvec. Previously this meant we needed to call xdr_adjust_iovec after encoding the data. With the new scheme, the xdr_stream manages the details of the buffer length, and takes care of adjusting the kvec length for us.
