Detailed Description

This header files provides basic support for an RPC server and client.

To support RPCs in a server, every supported RPC command needs to be defined and registered.

EVRPC_HEADER(SendCommand, Request, Reply);

SendCommand is the name of the RPC command. Request is the name of a structure generated by event_rpcgen.py. It contains all parameters relating to the SendCommand RPC. The server needs to fill in the Reply structure. Reply is the name of a structure generated by event_rpcgen.py. It contains the answer to the RPC.

To register an RPC with an HTTP server, you need to first create an RPC base with:

struct evrpc_base *base = evrpc_init(http);

A specific RPC can then be registered with

EVRPC_REGISTER(base, SendCommand, Request, Reply, FunctionCB, arg);

when the server receives an appropriately formatted RPC, the user callback is invoked. The callback needs to fill in the reply structure.

void FunctionCB(EVRPC_STRUCT(SendCommand)* rpc, void *arg);

To send the reply, call EVRPC_REQUEST_DONE(rpc);

See the regression test for an example.
