NAME
       RpcService - support RPC between a service and its clients

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Dispatch/rpcservice.h>

DESCRIPTION
       An  RpcService  (actually,  an  instance  of a derived class) creates a port and listens to it for connections from clients.  When a client
       opens a connection, the RpcService will create a reader to handle RPC requests from the connection.

CONSTRUCTORS
       RpcService(int port)
       RpcService(const char* path, int port = 0)
	      Start up an RPC service.	If a filename is given, record the RPC service's hostname and port number in it so clients can contact the
	      service.	If ``port'' is zero, the next free port number will be used.

PUBLIC OPERATIONS
       void run()
       void quitRunning()
	      Read  RPC  requests  continuously  until	``quitRunning()'' terminates the loop.	If you're using InterViews, you don't have to call
	      ``run()'' since the InterViews event-reading code will also read RPC requests.

PROTECTED OPERATIONS
       virtual void createReader(int fd) = 0
	      You must define this function in a derived class in order to start servicing RPC requests from a new client.  Typically all you have
	      to  do is to construct a reader using the passed file descriptor and make the reader responsible for deleting itself when it notices
	      that the connection has been closed by the client.
