36 * This header files provides basic support for an RPC server and client.
38 * To support RPCs in a server, every supported RPC command needs to be
39 * defined and registered.
41 * EVRPC_HEADER(SendCommand, Request, Reply);
43 * SendCommand is the name of the RPC command.
44 * Request is the name of a structure generated by event_rpcgen.py.
45 * It contains all parameters relating to the SendCommand RPC. The
46 * server needs to fill in the Reply structure.
47 * Reply is the name of a structure generated by event_rpcgen.py. It
48 * contains the answer to the RPC.
50 * To register an RPC with an HTTP server, you need to first create an RPC
51 * base with:
53 * struct evrpc_base *base = evrpc_init(http);
55 * A specific RPC can then be registered with
57 * EVRPC_REGISTER(base, SendCommand, Request, Reply, FunctionCB, arg);
59 * when the server receives an appropriately formatted RPC, the user callback
60 * is invokved. The callback needs to fill in the reply structure.
62 * void FunctionCB(EVRPC_STRUCT(SendCommand)* rpc, void *arg);
64 * To send the reply, call EVRPC_REQUEST_DONE(rpc);
66 * See the regression test for an example.
