VMS Help  —  TCPIP Services, Programming Interfaces, RPC XDR Routines, xdrrec_skiprecord
    Guarantees proper record alignment during deserialization from an
    incoming stream.
    Format
      #include  <tcpip$rpcxdr.h>
      bool_t xdrrec_skiprecord  (XDR *xdrs);

1  –  Arguments

 xdrs
    A pointer to an XDR stream handle created by one of the XDR
    stream-handle creation routines.

2  –  Description

    This routine ensures that the stream is properly aligned in
    preparation for a subsequent read. It is recommended that, when a
    record stream is being used, this routine be called prior to any
    operations that would read from the stream.

    This routine is similar to the xdrrec_eof routine, except that
    this routine does not verify whether there is more data in the
    buffer.

3  –  Return Values

    TRUE               Indicates success.
    FALSE              Indicates failure.
