Next: The WIRE Package, Up: Interprocess Communication under LISP [Contents][Index]
The remote package provides simple RPC facility including
interfaces for creating servers, connecting to already existing
servers, and calling functions in other Lisp processes. The routines
for establishing a connection between two processes,
create-request-server and connect-to-remote-server,
return wire structures. A wire maintains the current state of
a connection, and all the RPC forms require a wire to indicate where
to send requests.
