R

RPC object

Server instances or other resources, such a devices, database, and queues, that are operated on and managed by RPC server applications. Each object is uniquely identified by one or more object UUIDs.

RPC Subsystem (RPCSS)

A Windows NT subsystem that includes a variety of RPC and OLE services, including the endpoint mapper, OLE Service Control Manager (SCM), and the DCOM Object Resolver. Do not confuse this with the RPC-specific memory allocator package, RpcSs.

reference pointer

In RPC, the simplest pointer type. A reference pointer always points to valid storage and that storage does not change (although the contents may change). A reference pointer cannot be aliased. The ref attribute designates a reference pointer. See also unique pointer and full pointer.
