/** @file rpc.h
*
* This header files provides basic support for an RPC server and client.
*
* To support RPCs in a server, every supported RPC command needs to be
* defined and registered.
*
* EVRPC_HEADER(SendCommand, Request, Reply);
*
* SendCommand is the name of the RPC command.
* Request is the name of a structure generated by event_rpcgen.py.
* It contains all parameters relating to the SendCommand RPC. The
* server needs to fill in the Reply structure.
* Reply is the name of a structure generated by event_rpcgen.py. It
* contains the answer to the RPC.
*
* To register an RPC with an HTTP server, you need to first create an RPC
* base with:
*
* struct evrpc_base *base = evrpc_init(http);
*
* A specific RPC can then be registered with
*
* EVRPC_REGISTER(base, SendCommand, Request, Reply, FunctionCB, arg);
*
* when the server receives an appropriately formatted RPC, the user callback
* is invoked. The callback needs to fill in the reply structure.
*
* void FunctionCB(EVRPC_STRUCT(SendCommand)* rpc, void *arg);
*
* To send the reply, call EVRPC_REQUEST_DONE(rpc);
*
* See the regression test for an example.
