/* This module exports part of the C API to the XDR routines into Python.
* XDR is Sun's eXternal Data Representation, as described in RFC 1014.
* This module is used by xdrlib.py to support the float and double data
* types which are too much of a pain to support in Python directly. It is
* not required by xdrlib.py -- when not available, these types aren't
* supported at the Python layer. Note that representations that can be
* implemented solely in Python, are *not* reproduced here.
*
* Module version number: 1.0
*
* See xdrlib.py for usage notes.
*
* Note: this has so far, only been tested on Solaris 2.5 and IRIX 5.3. On
* these systems, you will need to link with -lnsl for these symbols to be
* defined.
