/*
	The rpc package provides access to the exported methods of an object across a
	network or other I/O connection.  A server registers an object, making it visible
	as a service with the name of the type of the object.  After registration, exported
	methods of the object will be accessible remotely.  A server may register multiple
	objects (services) of different types but it is an error to register multiple
	objects of the same type.

	Only methods that satisfy these criteria will be made available for remote access;
	other methods will be ignored:

		- the method receiver and name are exported, that is, begin with an upper case letter.
		- the method has two arguments, both pointers to exported types.
		- the method has return type os.Error.

	The method's first argument represents the arguments provided by the caller; the
	second argument represents the result parameters to be returned to the caller.
	The method's return value, if non-nil, is passed back as a string that the client
	sees as an os.ErrorString.

	The server may handle requests on a single connection by calling ServeConn.  More
	typically it will create a network listener and call Accept or, for an HTTP
	listener, HandleHTTP and http.Serve.

	A client wishing to use the service establishes a connection and then invokes
	NewClient on the connection.  The convenience function Dial (DialHTTP) performs
	both steps for a raw network connection (an HTTP connection).  The resulting
	Client object has two methods, Call and Go, that specify the service and method to
	call, a pointer containing the arguments, and a pointer to receive the result
	parameters.

	Call waits for the remote call to complete; Go launches the call asynchronously
	and returns a channel that will signal completion.

	Package "gob" is used to transport the data.

	Here is a simple example.  A server wishes to export an object of type Arith:

		package server

		type Args struct {
			A, B int
		}

		type Quotient struct {
			Quo, Rem int
		}

		type Arith int

		func (t *Arith) Multiply(args *Args, reply *int) os.Error {
			*reply = args.A * args.B
			return nil
		}

		func (t *Arith) Divide(args *Args, quo *Quotient) os.Error {
			if args.B == 0 {
				return os.ErrorString("divide by zero")
			}
			quo.Quo = args.A / args.B
			quo.Rem = args.A % args.B
			return nil
		}

	The server calls (for HTTP service):

		arith := new(Arith)
		rpc.Register(arith)
		rpc.HandleHTTP()
		l, e := net.Listen("tcp", ":1234")
		if e != nil {
			log.Exit("listen error:", e)
		}
		go http.Serve(l, nil)

	At this point, clients can see a service "Arith" with methods "Arith.Multiply" and
	"Arith.Divide".  To invoke one, a client first dials the server:

		client, err := rpc.DialHTTP("tcp", serverAddress + ":1234")
		if err != nil {
			log.Exit("dialing:", err)
		}

	Then it can make a remote call:

		// Synchronous call
		args := &server.Args{7,8}
		var reply int
		err = client.Call("Arith.Multiply", args, &reply)
		if err != nil {
			log.Exit("arith error:", err)
		}
		fmt.Printf("Arith: %d*%d=%d", args.A, args.B, *reply)

	or

		// Asynchronous call
		quotient := new(Quotient)
		divCall := client.Go("Arith.Divide", args, &quotient, nil)
		replyCall := <-divCall.Done	// will be equal to divCall
		// check errors, print, etc.

	A server implementation will often provide a simple, type-safe wrapper for the
	client.
