A server routine -that sets "fillbuf=false" in receive_mode or send_mode can use this -macro to perform I/O directly to/from the client, rather than using -buf. - - -The xpa_cendian and xpa_sendian macros can be used together to determine -if the data transferred from the client is byte swapped with respect -to the server.
