51 * XDR an indirect pointer
52 * xdr_reference is for recursively translating a structure that is
53 * referenced by a pointer inside the structure that is currently being
54 * translated. pp references a pointer to storage. If *pp is null
55 * the necessary storage is allocated.
56 * size is the size of the referneced structure.
57 * proc is the routine to handle the referenced structure.
