+LIBTIRPC 0.1 FROM SUN'S TIRPCSRC 2.3 29 Aug 1994
+
+This package contains SunLib's implementation of transport-independent
+RPC (TI-RPC) documentation. This library forms a piece of the base of Open Network
+Computing (ONC), and is derived directly from the Solaris 2.3 source.
+
+TI-RPC is an enhanced version of TS-RPC that requires the UNIX System V
+Transport Layer Interface (TLI) or an equivalent X/Open Transport Interface
+(XTI). TI-RPC is on-the-wire compatible with the TS-RPC, which is supported
+by almost 70 vendors on all major operating systems. TS-RPC source code
+(RPCSRC 4.0) remains available from several internet sites.
+
+This release was a native source release, compatible for
+building on Solaris 2.3. It had been ported from FreeBSD 5.2.1 to GNU/Linux
+in 2004.
+
+Applications linked with this release's librpc must link with the United
+States domestic version of libcrypt in order to resolve the cbc_crypt() and
+ecb_crypt() functions. These routines are used with Secure RPC however all
+RPC programs that link with this release's librpc will need to link with the
+domestic libcrypt.
+
+WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE: TIRPCSRC 2.3 FROM SUN
+
+The previous release was TIRPCSRC 2.0.
+
+1. This release is based on Solaris 2.3. The previous release was
+ based on Solaris 2.0. This release contains a siginificant number of
+ bug fixes and other enhancements over TIRPCSRC 2.0.
+
+2. The RPC library is thread safe for all client-side interfaces
+ (clnt_create, clnt_call, etc.). The server-side interfaces
+ (svc_create, svc_run, etc.) are not thread safe in this release. The
+ server-side interfaces will be made thread safe in the next release of
+ TIRPCSRC. Please see the manual pages for details about which
+ interfaces are thread safe.
+
+3. As part of the work to make the RPC library thread-safe, rpcgen has
+ been enhanced to generate thread-safe RPC stubs (the -M option). Note
+ that this modifies the call-signature for the stub functions; the
+ procedure calling the RPC stub must now pass to the stub a pointer to
+ an allocated structure where results will be placed by the stub. See
+ the rpcgen manual page and the rpcgen Programming Guide for details.
