RPC Examples

simple: remote integer add and subtract procedures.
ulookup: Remote username and uid lookup procedures. The server returns the username corresponding to a UID (on the server system) or the UID corresponding to a username. Among other things, this example show how to use the XDR string type.
better_ulookup: Better remote username and uid lookup procedures. Almost the same as lookup, but now the procedures return complex types that include a status indicator (to indicate when the lookup failed).
linkedlist: Example of how to use a linked list as an argument to a remote procedure.
varray: Example that shows using a variable length array.
rpctalk: RPC based talk program. This is an example of a hand-made RPC program and includes a custom dispatcher and asynchronous remote procedures. There is a single program that acts as both client and server. This code is old and is set up (the Makefile) to build on a Sun using the ucbsoc library (Sun RPC is now based on TLI). To run you need to add /usr/ucblib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable (I can't find a static library...). Good luck.
