Crate xdr_codec

XDR runtime encoding/decoding

This crate provides runtime support for encoding and decoding XDR data. It is intended to be used with code generated by the “xdrgen” crate, but it can also be used with hand-written code.

It provides two key traits - Pack and Unpack - which all encodable types must implement. It also provides the helper functions pack() and unpack() to simplify the API.
