Q. Show Encoding data options?
PVM uses SUN's XDR library to make a machine independent data format if you request it. Settings for encoding option are:
PvmDataDefault: Use XDR by default as the local library can't know in advance that where you are going to transmit the data.
PvmDataRaw: No encoding hence make sure that you are transmitting to a similar machine.
PvmDataInPlace: Not only there is no encoding but also data is not even going to be physically copied in buffer.
