XDR_HELP!! With the functions xdrmem_create and xdrstdio_create, the x_op parameter specifies whether data on the XDR stream is to be ENCODEd or DECODEd. Now check out the function xdrrec_create. How the heck do the XDR i/o routines (e.g., xdr_long) know when data on a record stream is to be DECODEd or ENCODEd, read or written??
