The XDR library provides primitives that translate between floating-point data and their external representations. Floating-point data encodes an integer with an exponent. Floats and double-precision numbers compose floating-point data.
Note: Numbers are represented as Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard floating points. Routines might fail when decoding IEEE representations into machine specific representations.
The routines for the XDR floating-point filters are:
