<p>The <strong>xdr_enum</strong> function is a filter primitive that translates
between C-language enumeration (enum) and its external representation.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>xdrs</strong> &nbsp;(Input)&nbsp;</dt>
<dd>A pointer to the eXternal Data Representation (XDR) stream handle.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>ep</strong> &nbsp;(I/O)&nbsp;</dt>
<dd>The address of the enumeration data.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Authorities</h3>
<p>No authorization is required.</p>
<br>
<img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change">
<h3>Notes</h3>
<p>Callers of the xdr_enum() function should ensure that <strong>ep</strong>
points to a 4 byte location in memory. The ENUM(*INT) compiler option should
be used when compiling code that calls xdr_enum() to ensure that enumerated
data types are represented internally as integers. Failure to do so, may
cause unexpected values to be encoded to the XDR data stream.</p>

<p>The following example shows how <strong>xdr_enum()</strong> is used:</p>
<pre>
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;xdr.h&gt;
typedef enum fruit_state { green, ripe } fruit_state;
typedef enum fruit_weight { small, sufficient } fruit_weight;
typedef struct fruit
{
fruit_state state;
fruit_weight weight;
} fruit;
bool xdr_fruit(XDR *xdrs, fruit *p_fruit)
{
if(!<strong>xdr_enum</strong>(xdrs,(enum_t *)&amp;(p_fruit-&gt;state)))
return FALSE;
return <strong>xdr_enum</strong>(xdrs,
(enum_t *)&amp;(p_fruit-&gt;weight));
}
