xdr_inline_decode - Retrieve XDR data to decode
SYNOPSIS
__be32 * xdr_inline_decode(struct xdr_stream * xdr, size_t nbytes);
ARGUMENTS
xdr
pointer to xdr_stream struct
nbytes
number of bytes of data to decode
DESCRIPTION
Check if the input buffer is long enough to enable us to decode 'nbytes' more bytes of data starting at the current position. If so return
the current pointer, then update the current pointer position.

GETDENTS(2) BSD System Calls Manual GETDENTS(2)NAME
getdents -- get directory entries in a filesystem independent format
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <dirent.h>
int
getdents(int fd, char *buf, size_t nbytes);
DESCRIPTION
getdents() reads directory entries from the directory referenced by the file descriptor fd into the buffer pointed to by buf, in a filesystem
independent format. Up to nbytes of data will be transferred. nbytes must be greater than or equal to the block size associated with the
file, see stat(2). Some filesystems may not support getdents() with buffers smaller than this size.
The data in the buffer is a series of dirent structures:
struct dirent {
ino_t d_fileno; /* file number of entry */
uint16_t d_reclen; /* length of this record */
uint16_t d_namlen; /* length of d_name */
uint8_t d_type; /* file type, see below */
char d_name[MAXNAMELEN + 1];
};
The structure is described in dirent(3).
Entries may be separated by extra space. The d_reclen entry may be used as an offset from the start of a dirent structure to the next struc-
ture, if any.
The actual number of bytes transferred is returned. The current position pointer associated with fd is set to point to the next block of
entries. The pointer may not advance by the number of bytes returned by getdents(). A value of zero is returned when the end of the direc-
tory has been reached.
The current position pointer may be set and retrieved by lseek(2). The current position pointer should only be set to a value returned by
lseek(2), or zero.
RETURN VALUES
If successful, the number of bytes actually transferred is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indi-
cate the error.
ERRORS
getdents() will fail if:
[EBADF] fd is not a valid file descriptor open for reading.
[EFAULT] buf points outside the allocated address space.
[EINVAL] A directory was being read on NFS, but it was modified on the server while it was being read.
[EIO] An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
SEE ALSO lseek(2), open(2), dirent(3)HISTORY
The getdents() function first appeared in NetBSD 1.3.
