RPCL Pointer Declarations

Pointer declarations are made in XDR exactly as they are in C. Address pointers are not really sent over the network. Instead, XDR pointers are useful for sending recursive data types such as lists and trees. The type is called optional-data, not pointer, in XDR language.

pointer-declaration:
 	type-ident *variable-ident 

Example:

listitem *next; --> listitem *next;
