libmemcache - custom structures

[Jure Petrovic]

You suggest using xdr.h library together with rpcgen generated function
for converting (encoding) the structure to a string, putting the string
to a memcached server and then reverse this procedure?

I'll try that...

I could use xdrmem_create(XDR *xdrs, char* addr, int size, xdr_op
operation) function, but how do I know, how big will the encoded
structure be?

Regards, 
Jure
