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 + +Tim Potter +tpot@samba.org |
