[description]
[para]
This package provides a single command for the convenient creation of
procedures which delegate the actual work to a remote location via a
"channel" created by the package [package comm].
[section API]
[list_begin definitions]
[call [cmd ::interp::delegate::proc] [opt [option -async]] [arg name] [arg arguments] [arg comm] [arg id]]
This commands creates a procedure which is named by [arg name] and
returns its fully-qualified name. All invokations of this procedure
will delegate the actual work to the remote location identified by the
comm channel [arg comm] and the endpoint [arg id].
[para]
The name of the remote procedure invoked by the delegator is
[lb]namespace tail [arg name][rb]. I.e., namespace information is
stripped from the call.
[para]
Normally the generated procedure marshalls the [arg arguments], and
returns the result from the remote procedure as its own result. If
however the option [option -async] was specified then the generated
procedure will not wait for a result and return immediately.
