Replace Sun RPC license in TI-RPC library with a 3-clause BSD license
with the explicit permissions.

# 240062 02-Sep-2012 pfg

Revert r240060: (Partial)

__BEGIN_DECLS and __END_DECLS in cdefs.h take care of the
__cplusplus mangling issues so most of the definitions
were redundant.

In the few places where they were not redundant we should
use BSD style instead of the guards used upstream.

# 240060 02-Sep-2012 pfg

Fix RPC headers for C++

C++ mangling will cause trouble with variables like __rpc_xdr
in xdr.h so rename this to XDR.
While here add proper C++ guards to RPC headers.

Remove duplicated '__BEGIN_DECLS' which obviated compiling
C++ sources that use this header.

# 100001 14-Jul-2002 alfred

clnt_vc_create() has const scalar arguments that wind up being modified,
fix it (make them non-const) and update the associated documentation.

# 99775 11-Jul-2002 alfred

Add functions allowing for the user to specify a timeout for rpc functions.

Update copyrights to reflect where this code was lifted from. (tirpc '99)

# 95658 28-Apr-2002 des

Spell void * as void * rather than caddr_t. This is complicated by the
fact that caddr_t is often misspelled as char *.

# 93032 23-Mar-2002 imp

Breath deep and take __P out of the system include files.

# This appears to not break X11, but I'm having problems compiling the
# glide part of the server with or without this patch, so I can't tell
# for sure.


# 84487 04-Oct-2001 wpaul

Add compatibility functions for the AF_LOCAL RPC transport stuff
that used to live in RPC 4.0. This is needed for yppasswd and
rpc.yppasswdd to work correctly. Patch supplied by Martin Blapp.


# 78678 23-Jun-2001 iedowse

Add a new clnt_control() request `CLSET_CONNECT' that controls
whether or not connect(2) is used for UDP client sockets. The default
is not to connect(), so existing clients will see no change in
behaviour.

The use of connect(2) for UDP clients has a number of advantages:
only replies from the intended address are received, and ICMP errors
pertaining to the connection are reported back to the application.


# 74879 27-Mar-2001 wpaul

Add a CLSET_ASYNC command, which allows us to (ab)use the clnt_dg transport
to make asynchronous RPCs. This is needed to help fix ypbind, which can no
longer override the clnt_dg_call() method (formerly the clntudp_call()
method) due to all the internal descriptor locking code in TI-RPC. Turning
on this flag allows us to send an RPC request, then return immediately,
and handle a reply later, rather than being forced to do the request
and reply in a single function call.

Also fix a byte ordering bug: when clnt_dg_call() increments the XID
prior to transmitting a request, it uses the raw value, which is wrong.
The XID is stored in network byte order, i.e. big-endian. The CLSET_XID
and CLGET_XID commands in clnt_dg_control() use ntohl()/htonl() to get
the byte ordering right, but because clnt_dg_call() does not do this,
using CLSET_XID/CLGET_XID doesn't actually work, unless you're on a
big endian host, which we aren't (yet). Fix clnt_dg_call() to byte swap
properly when doing the increment.


# 74462 19-Mar-2001 alfred

Bring in a hybrid of SunSoft's transport-independent RPC (TI-RPC) and
associated changes that had to happen to make this possible as well as
bugs fixed along the way.

Bring in required TLI library routines to support this.

Since we don't support TLI we've essentially copied what NetBSD
has done, adding a thin layer to emulate direct the TLI calls
into BSD socket calls.

This is mostly from Sun's tirpc release that was made in 1994,
however some fixes were backported from the 1999 release (supposedly
only made available after this porting effort was underway).

The submitter has agreed to continue on and bring us up to the
1999 release.

Several key features are introduced with this update:
Client calls are thread safe. (1999 code has server side thread
safe)
Updated, a more modern interface.

Many userland updates were done to bring the code up to par with
the recent RPC API.

There is an update to the pthreads library, a function
pthread_main_np() was added to emulate a function of Sun's threads
library.

While we're at it, bring in NetBSD's lockd, it's been far too
long of a wait.

New rpcbind(8) replaces portmap(8) (supporting communication over
an authenticated Unix-domain socket, and by default only allowing
set and unset requests over that channel). It's much more secure
than the old portmapper.

Umount(8), mountd(8), mount_nfs(8), nfsd(8) have also been upgraded
to support TI-RPC and to support IPV6.

Umount(8) is also fixed to unmount pathnames longer than 80 chars,
which are currently truncated by the Kernel statfs structure.

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# 26211 28-May-1997 wpaul

Resolve conflicts.


# 25551 07-May-1997 eivind

Back out all of yesterdays include file changes.


# 25520 07-May-1997 eivind

Make a lot of include-files self-contained. I excluded the patches changing
int's to gid_t and uid_t - should I commit these, too?

Closes PR misc/2625.

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.


# 21059 30-Dec-1996 peter

First commit of a series of cleanups for the libc rpc code which has been
suffering a bad case neglect for the last few years.

- Add full prototypes, including to function pointers.
- Make the wire protocols 64-bit type safe, eg: 32 bit quantities are
int32_t, not long. The orginal rpc code was implemented when an int
could be 16 bits.

Obtained from: a diff of FreeBSD vs. OpenBSD/NetBSD rpc code.


# 13771 30-Jan-1996 mpp

# 1839 04-Aug-1994 wollman

Install RPC headers from include, like they always should have been.
