NAME

       RpcWriter - write RPC requests to a server

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Dispatch/rpcwriter.h>

DESCRIPTION

       An  RpcWriter  (actually, an instance of a class derived from RpcWriter) writes RPC requests to a server.
       Derived classes should add member functions that send RPC requests corresponding  to  the  RPC  service's
       protocol.

CONSTRUCTORS

       RpcWriter(const char* path, boolean fatal, boolean binary)
       RpcWriter(const char* host, int port, boolean fatal, boolean binary)
       RpcWriter(int fd, boolean fatal, boolean binary)
       RpcWriter(rpcstream* server)
              Open  a connection to an RPC service at its registered host name and port number, or give the host
              name and port number needed to open a connection to the RPC service, or  give  the  number  of  an
              already  open  file  descriptor,  or  give  the address of an already open rpcstream (connection).
              Negotiate the I/O format (binary or formatted) if opening a connection.  Terminate the program  if
              errors should be fatal.
