56 * XDR an indirect pointer
57 * xdr_reference is for recursively translating a structure that is
58 * referenced by a pointer inside the structure that is currently being
59 * translated. pp references a pointer to storage. If *pp is null
60 * the necessary storage is allocated.
61 * size is the sizeof the referneced structure.
62 * proc is the routine to handle the referenced structure.
64 * Parameters:
65 * pp: the pointer to work on
66 * size: size of the object pointed to
67 * proc: xdr routine to handle the object

104 * xdr_pointer():

107 * differs with xdr_reference in that it can serialize/deserialiaze
108 * trees correctly.

117 * > objpp: Pointer to the pointer to the object.

119 * > xdr_obj: routine to XDR an object.
