I'm wondering if there's a function that will take a buffer full of
XDR data and an xdrproc_t, and print out a human readable version of
the data.
It seems like an obvious debugging tool, but I can't find a reference
to anything like this in the XDR docs.
I guess the obvious workaround is to deserialize the data into a
struct and manually print out all the fields of the struct. But it
seems like since we've gone through the trouble of describing
everything in XDR, there should be an auto-printer.
cheers,
Colin

Yeah, I'm not aware of any.
Plus, I tend to think that automated print-outs would not be useful for
anything beyond a first-pass attempt. Most debugging output would
likely be tuned to be less verbose, yet more useful, as field experience
informs our choices.
