Bring in a hybrid of SunSoft's transport-independent RPC (TI-RPC) and
associated changes that had to happen to make this possible as well as bugs fixed along the way. Bring in required TLI library routines to support this. Since we don't support TLI we've essentially copied what NetBSD has done, adding a thin layer to emulate direct the TLI calls into BSD socket calls. This is mostly from Sun's tirpc release that was made in 1994, however some fixes were backported from the 1999 release (supposedly only made available after this porting effort was underway). The submitter has agreed to continue on and bring us up to the 1999 release. Several key features are introduced with this update: Client calls are thread safe. (1999 code has server side thread safe) Updated, a more modern interface. Many userland updates were done to bring the code up to par with the recent RPC API. There is an update to the pthreads library, a function pthread_main_np() was added to emulate a function of Sun's threads library. While we're at it, bring in NetBSD's lockd, it's been far too long of a wait. New rpcbind(8) replaces portmap(8) (supporting communication over an authenticated Unix-domain socket, and by default only allowing set and unset requests over that channel). It's much more secure than the old portmapper. Umount(8), mountd(8), mount_nfs(8), nfsd(8) have also been upgraded to support TI-RPC and to support IPV6. Umount(8) is also fixed to unmount pathnames longer than 80 chars, which are currently truncated by the Kernel statfs structure.

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These routines are used for describing the
+RPC messages in XDR language.
+They should normally be used by those who do not
+want to use the RPC
+package directly.
+These routines return
+.Dv TRUE
+if they succeed,
+.Dv FALSE
+otherwise.
+.Sh Routines
+See
+.Xr rpc 3
+for the definition of the
+.Vt XDR
+data structure.
+.Bl -tag -width XXXXX
+.It Fn xdr_accepted_reply
+Used to translate between RPC
+reply messages and their external representation.
+It includes the status of the RPC
+call in the XDR language format.
+In the case of success, it also includes the call results.
+.It Fn xdr_authsys_parms
+Used for describing
+.Ux
+operating system credentials.
+It includes machine-name, uid, gid list, etc.
+.It Fn xdr_callhdr
+Used for describing
+RPC
+call header messages.
+It encodes the static part of the call message header in the
+XDR language format.
+It includes information such as transaction
+ID, RPC version number, program and version number.
+.It Fn xdr_callmsg
+Used for describing
+RPC call messages.
+This includes all the RPC
+call information such as transaction
+ID, RPC version number, program number, version number,
+authentication information, etc.
+This is normally used by servers to determine information about the client
+RPC call.
+.It Fn xdr_opaque_auth
+Used for describing RPC
+opaque authentication information messages.
+.It Fn xdr_rejected_reply
+Used for describing RPC reply messages.
+It encodes the rejected RPC message in the XDR language format.
+The message could be rejected either because of version
+number mis-match or because of authentication errors.
+.It Fn xdr_replymsg
+Used for describing RPC
+reply messages.
+It translates between the
+RPC reply message and its external representation.
+This reply could be either an acceptance,
+rejection or
+.Dv NULL .
