Common RPC programming techniques

This section suggests some coding and rpcgen usage techniques.

Topic RPC capability

Timeout changes Client default timeout periods can be changed
Authentication Clients may authenticate themselves to servers; interested servers can examine client authentication information
define statements C-preprocessing symbols can be defined on rpcgen command lines
Broadcast calls Servers need not send NULL replies to broadcast calls
Port monitor support Port monitors can ``listen'' for RPC servers
Dispatch tables Programs can access server dispatch tables
Debugging Clients and servers created with rpcgen can be linked and run on a single system for debugging purposes
