     6  	Package rpc provides access to the exported methods of an object across a
     7  	network or other I/O connection.  A server registers an object, making it visible
     8  	as a service with the name of the type of the object.  After registration, exported
     9  	methods of the object will be accessible remotely.  A server may register multiple
    10  	objects (services) of different types but it is an error to register multiple
    11  	objects of the same type.
    12  
    13  	Only methods that satisfy these criteria will be made available for remote access;
    14  	other methods will be ignored:
    15  
    16  		- the method's type is exported.
    17  		- the method is exported.
    18  		- the method has two arguments, both exported (or builtin) types.
    19  		- the method's second argument is a pointer.
    20  		- the method has return type error.
    21  
    22  	In effect, the method must look schematically like
    23  
    24  		func (t *T) MethodName(argType T1, replyType *T2) error
    25  
    26  	where T1 and T2 can be marshaled by encoding/gob.
    27  	These requirements apply even if a different codec is used.
    28  	(In the future, these requirements may soften for custom codecs.)
    29  
    30  	The method's first argument represents the arguments provided by the caller; the
    31  	second argument represents the result parameters to be returned to the caller.
    32  	The method's return value, if non-nil, is passed back as a string that the client
    33  	sees as if created by errors.New.  If an error is returned, the reply parameter
    34  	will not be sent back to the client.
    35  
    36  	The server may handle requests on a single connection by calling ServeConn.  More
    37  	typically it will create a network listener and call Accept or, for an HTTP
    38  	listener, HandleHTTP and http.Serve.
    39  
    40  	A client wishing to use the service establishes a connection and then invokes
    41  	NewClient on the connection.  The convenience function Dial (DialHTTP) performs
    42  	both steps for a raw network connection (an HTTP connection).  The resulting
    43  	Client object has two methods, Call and Go, that specify the service and method to
    44  	call, a pointer containing the arguments, and a pointer to receive the result
    45  	parameters.
    46  
    47  	The Call method waits for the remote call to complete while the Go method
    48  	launches the call asynchronously and signals completion using the Call
    49  	structure's Done channel.
    50  
    51  	Unless an explicit codec is set up, package encoding/gob is used to
    52  	transport the data.
    53  
    54  	Here is a simple example.  A server wishes to export an object of type Arith:
    55  
    56  		package server
    57  
    58  		import "errors"
    59  
    60  		type Args struct {
    61  			A, B int
    62  		}
    63  
    64  		type Quotient struct {
    65  			Quo, Rem int
    66  		}
    67  
    68  		type Arith int
    69  
    70  		func (t *Arith) Multiply(args *Args, reply *int) error {
    71  			*reply = args.A * args.B
    72  			return nil
    73  		}
    74  
    75  		func (t *Arith) Divide(args *Args, quo *Quotient) error {
    76  			if args.B == 0 {
    77  				return errors.New("divide by zero")
    78  			}
    79  			quo.Quo = args.A / args.B
    80  			quo.Rem = args.A % args.B
    81  			return nil
    82  		}
    83  
    84  	The server calls (for HTTP service):
    85  
    86  		arith := new(Arith)
    87  		rpc.Register(arith)
    88  		rpc.HandleHTTP()
    89  		l, e := net.Listen("tcp", ":1234")
    90  		if e != nil {
    91  			log.Fatal("listen error:", e)
    92  		}
    93  		go http.Serve(l, nil)
    94  
    95  	At this point, clients can see a service "Arith" with methods "Arith.Multiply" and
    96  	"Arith.Divide".  To invoke one, a client first dials the server:
    97  
    98  		client, err := rpc.DialHTTP("tcp", serverAddress + ":1234")
    99  		if err != nil {
   100  			log.Fatal("dialing:", err)
   101  		}
   102  
   103  	Then it can make a remote call:
   104  
   105  		// Synchronous call
   106  		args := &server.Args{7,8}
   107  		var reply int
   108  		err = client.Call("Arith.Multiply", args, &reply)
   109  		if err != nil {
   110  			log.Fatal("arith error:", err)
   111  		}
   112  		fmt.Printf("Arith: %d*%d=%d", args.A, args.B, reply)
   113  
   114  	or
   115  
   116  		// Asynchronous call
   117  		quotient := new(Quotient)
   118  		divCall := client.Go("Arith.Divide", args, quotient, nil)
   119  		replyCall := <-divCall.Done	// will be equal to divCall
   120  		// check errors, print, etc.
   121  
   122  	A server implementation will often provide a simple, type-safe wrapper for the
   123  	client.
   124  
   125  	The net/rpc package is frozen and is not accepting new features.
