The following is the specification of what is actually send over the communication channels. This is all the information needed to create new language mappings for EXDR terms. This definition corresponds to EXDR_VERSION 1:
ExdrTerm ::= 'V' Version Term Term ::= (Integer|Double|String|List|Nil|Struct|Variable) Integer ::= 'I' XDR_int | 'J' XDR_long Double ::= 'D' XDR_double String ::= 'S' Length <byte>* List ::= '[' Term (List|Nil) Nil ::= ']' Struct ::= 'F' Arity String Term* Variable ::= '_' Length ::= XDR_int // >= 0 Arity ::= XDR_int // >= 0 Version ::= <byte> XDR_int ::= <4 bytes, msb first> XDR_long ::= <8 bytes, msb first> XDR_double ::= <8 bytes, ieee double, exponent first>
