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