+This directory contains two win32 programs to test large RPC requests
+and responses. The two programs are:
+
+ server A command line RPC server that listens and processes
+ RPC requests on the \pipe\rpcecho named pipe.
+
+ client A command line RPC client program that
+
+Samba also implements the client and server sides of the rpcecho pipe
+if the --enable-developer option to configure has been used. The
+rpcclient(1) program is used to implement the client side RPC
+operations.
+
+There are currently four RPC calls defined in the rpcecho pipe. They
+are:
+
+ AddOne Adds one to an integer sent by the client
+
+ EchoData The client sends an array of bytes and it is echoed
+ back by the server.
+
+ SourceData The client sends an array of bytes and it is discarded
+ by the server.
+
+ SinkData The server returns an array of bytes.
+
+The Ethereal network protocol decoder (http://www.ethereal.com/) also
+contains support for the rpcecho pipe as part of its DCERPC for
+Windows.
+
+Starting the win32 server program is easy. Just run server.exe in a
+command window. The win32 client program is also run from a command
+window. The usage information is shown below:
+
+ Usage: client hostname cmd [args]
+
+ Where hostname is the name of the host to connect to,
+ and cmd is the command to execute with optional args:
+
+ addone num Add one to num and return the result
+ echodata size Send an array of size bytes and receive it back
+ sinkdata size Send an array of size bytes
+ sourcedata size Receive an array of size bytes
