ssize_t data type in XDR for RPC

I am writing an RPC application. I need to use ssize_t data type in the C portion and it needs to be sent over the wire. What should I represent ssize_t as in the IDL? I can cast it to int but I want to know the correct way to do it than just casting to int, not sure if that is the correct way.

Xdr type int (IOW, you should use hyper) represents 32 bit integer. Check ONC+ Developer's Guide for details.
