xdr_init_encode — Initialize a struct xdr_stream for sending data.
void xdr_init_encode ( | struct xdr_stream * xdr, |
struct xdr_buf * buf, | |
__be32 * p) ; |
xdr
pointer to xdr_stream struct
buf
pointer to XDR buffer in which to encode data
p
current pointer inside XDR buffer
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.
