xmit Example

FILE: xmitc.c

USAGE: xmitc -n network_address
-p protocol_sequence
-e endpoint
-o options
-c count of elements in linked list
-v value of first element in linked list
-d delta between values in linked list

PURPOSE: Client side of RPC distributed application.
This sample demonstrates the transmit_as example.
A doubly-linked list is transmitted over the network
as a sized array.

RELATED: xmits.c - server main
xmitp.c - remote procedures
xmitu.c - utility procedures

FUNCTIONS: main() - bind to server and call remote procedure

COMMENTS: This sample program generates a linked list to
demonstrate how a list with aliasing can be transmitted
using the transmit_as attribute as a sized array.
The pointers are rebuilt on the server side.

The [transmit_as] attribute (used in the typedef of
DOUBLE_LINK_TYPE in the file XMIT.IDL) requires the
four user-supplied functions whose names start with
the name of the presented type, DOUBLE_LINK_TYPE.

The [in, out] attributes applied to remote procedure
parameters require the two user-supplied functions
midl_user_allocate and midl_user_free.

The other functions are utilities that are used to
build or display the data structures.
