Serializes and deserializes a counted byte array.
Format
#include <tcpip$rpcxdr.h>
bool_t xdr_bytes (XDR *xdrs, char **bpp, u_int *sizep, u_int
maxsize);
1 – Arguments
xdrs
A pointer to an XDR stream handle created by one of the XDR
stream-handle creation routines.
bpp
A pointer to a pointer to the byte array.
sizep
A pointer to the length of the byte array.
maxsize
The maximum size of the length of the byte array.
2 – Description
A filter primitive that translates between a variable-length byte
array and its external representation. The length of the array
is located at sizep; the array cannot be longer than maxsize. If
*bpp is NULL, xdr_bytes allocates maxsize bytes.
3 – Return Values
TRUE Indicates success.
FALSE Indicates failure.
