67 * XDR an indirect pointer
68 * xdr_reference is for recursively translating a structure that is

70 * translated. pp references a pointer to storage. If *pp is null
71 * the necessary storage is allocated.
72 * size is the sizeof the referneced structure.
73 * proc is the routine to handle the referenced structure.
