These files are generated:

/*

#include <rpc/types.h>
#include <rpc/xdr.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>

It seems in most cases buf is unused, so maybe this is put there to avoid 
compiler warnings.
In the cases where it is used, it's alwas used this way:

bool_t
xdr_writeargs(XDR *xdrs, writeargs *objp)
{

	 register int32_t *buf=buf;
...
	 buf = XDR_INLINE(xdrs,3 * BYTES_PER_XDR_UNIT);
	   if (buf == NULL) {


So it always is initialized to some useful value.
