RPC Sample Programs

RPC consists of three C programs located in \TOOLKIT\SAMPLES\TCPIPTK\RPC:

• RAWEX.C provides an example of the RAW client/server usage. Portmapper must be running.

• GENESEND.C sends an integer to the remote host (GENESEND) and receives the integer back at the local host. Portmapper and Remote server (GENESEND) must be running.

• GENESERV.C is a generic server. It receives an integer or float and returns them, respectively. Portmapper must be running.

The following explains how to build and run the RPC samples.

• To compile and link the sample program, type:

  nmake  -f rpcsamp.mak

• To start Portmapper, type:

  start portmap
  

• To start the geneserv.exe server, type:

  start geneserv
  

• To run genesend.exe, type:

  genesend hostname integer
  

  For example:

  genesend charm 1000
  

• To run rawex.exe, type:

  rawex integer
  

  For example:

  rawex 1000
