NAME¶
xdr_set_scratch_buffer - Attach a scratch buffer for decoding data.

void xdr_set_scratch_buffer(struct xdr_stream * xdr, void * buf, size_t buflen);
ARGUMENTS¶
struct xdr_stream * xdr
pointer to xdr_stream struct
void * buf
pointer to an empty buffer

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.
