Rpc-Lib

Rpc-Lib compiles a definition of RPC-Functions in the SUN-RPC format into Rust-code and provides necessary network-code to run the application. It follows the standard RFC-5531.

Setup

• Write the RPC-Definition in the SUN-RPC Format
• Create the server-application. This can be done in C with rpcgen
• Make sure the Portmapper-service is installed and running before starting the server-application

Example

The following example shows how to use Rpc-Lib.

# Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "rpc-math"version = "0.1.0"edition = "2021"# See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html
[dependencies]
rpc-lib = { git = "https://git.rwth-aachen.de/acs/public/virtualization/rpc-lib/rpc-lib"}

/* math.x */programMATH {
versionVERS_1 {
intADD(int, int) =1;
} =1;
} =67908;

// src/main.rsuse rpc_lib::include_rpcl;#[include_rpcl("math.x")]structRPCStruct;fnmain(){letmut rpc = RPCStruct::new("127.0.0.1").expect("Server not available");let result = rpc.ADD(&1,&2).expect("Rpc call failed");assert!(result == 3,"Add failed");}
