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