| // Package rpc defines interfaces for communication via remote procedure call. |
| // |
| // Concept: https://github.com/vanadium/docs/blob/master/concepts/rpc.md |
| // Tutorial: (forthcoming) |
| // |
| // There are two actors in the system, clients and servers. Clients invoke |
| // methods on Servers, using the StartCall method provided by the Client |
| // interface. Servers implement methods on named objects. The named object is |
| // found using a Dispatcher, and the method is invoked using an Invoker. |
| // |
| // Instances of the Runtime host Clients and Servers, such instances may |
| // simultaneously host both Clients and Servers. The Runtime allows multiple |
| // names to be simultaneously supported via the Dispatcher interface. |
| // |
| // The naming package provides a rendezvous mechanism for Clients and Servers. |
| // In particular, it allows Runtimes hosting Servers to share Endpoints with |
| // Clients that enables communication between them. Endpoints encode sufficient |
| // addressing information to enable communication. |
