XDR_SET_SCRATCH_BUFF(9)                  Linux Networking                 XDR_SET_SCRATCH_BUFF(9)



NAME
       xdr_set_scratch_buffer - Attach a scratch buffer for decoding data.

SYNOPSIS
       void xdr_set_scratch_buffer(struct xdr_stream * xdr, void * buf, size_t buflen);

ARGUMENTS
       xdr
           pointer to xdr_stream struct

       buf
           pointer to an empty buffer

       buflen
           size of 'buf'

DESCRIPTION
       The scratch buffer is used when decoding from an array of pages. If an xdr_inline_decode
       call spans across page boundaries, then we copy the data into the scratch buffer in order
       to allow linear access.
