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.
