+ The rpc package provides access to the exported methods of an object across a
+ network or other I/O connection. A server registers an object, making it visible
+ as a service with the name of the type of the object. After registration, exported
+ methods of the object will be accessible remotely. A server may register multiple
+ objects (services) of different types but it is an error to register multiple
+ objects of the same type.
+
+ Only methods that satisfy these criteria will be made available for remote access;
+ other methods will be ignored:
+
+ - the method receiver and name are exported, that is, begin with an upper case letter.
+ - the method has two arguments, both pointers to exported types.
+ - the method has return type os.Error.
+
+ The method's first argument represents the arguments provided by the caller; the
+ second argument represents the result parameters to be returned to the caller.
+ The method's return value, if non-nil, is passed back as a string that the client
+ sees as an os.ErrorString.
+
+ The server may handle requests on a single connection by calling ServeConn. More
+ typically it will create a network listener and call Accept or, for an HTTP
+ listener, HandleHTTP and http.Serve.
+
+ A client wishing to use the service establishes a connection and then invokes
+ NewClient on the connection. The convenience function Dial (DialHTTP) performs
+ both steps for a raw network connection (an HTTP connection). The resulting
+ Client object has two methods, Call and Go, that specify the service and method to
+ call, a pointer containing the arguments, and a pointer to receive the result
+ parameters.
+
+ Call waits for the remote call to complete; Go launches the call asynchronously
+ and returns a channel that will signal completion.
+
+ Package "gob" is used to transport the data.
+
+ Here is a simple example. A server wishes to export an object of type Arith:
+
+ package server
+
+ type Args struct {
+ A, B int
+ }
+
+ type Quotient struct {
+ Quo, Rem int
+ }
+
+ type Arith int
+
+ func (t *Arith) Multiply(args *Args, reply *int) os.Error {
+ *reply = args.A * args.B
+ return nil
+ }
+
+ func (t *Arith) Divide(args *Args, quo *Quotient) os.Error {
+ if args.B == 0 {
+ return os.ErrorString("divide by zero")
+ }
+ quo.Quo = args.A / args.B
+ quo.Rem = args.A % args.B
+ return nil
+ }
+
+ The server calls (for HTTP service):
+
+ arith := new(Arith)
+ rpc.Register(arith)
+ rpc.HandleHTTP()
+ l, e := net.Listen("tcp", ":1234")
+ if e != nil {
+ log.Exit("listen error:", e)
+ }
+ go http.Serve(l, nil)
+
+ At this point, clients can see a service "Arith" with methods "Arith.Multiply" and
+ "Arith.Divide". To invoke one, a client first dials the server:
+
+ client, err := rpc.DialHTTP("tcp", serverAddress + ":1234")
+ if err != nil {
+ log.Exit("dialing:", err)
+ }
+
+ Then it can make a remote call:
+
+ // Synchronous call
+ args := &server.Args{7,8}
+ var reply int
+ err = client.Call("Arith.Multiply", args, &reply)
+ if err != nil {
+ log.Exit("arith error:", err)
+ }
+ fmt.Printf("Arith: %d*%d=%d", args.A, args.B, *reply)
+
+ or
+
+ // Asynchronous call
+ quotient := new(Quotient)
+ divCall := client.Go("Arith.Divide", args, &quotient, nil)
+ replyCall := <-divCall.Done // will be equal to divCall
+ // check errors, print, etc.
+
+ A server implementation will often provide a simple, type-safe wrapper for the
+ client.
