NAME¶
deleg_method - Creation of comm delegates (snit methods)
SYNOPSIS¶
package require
Tcl 8.3
package require
snit ?1.1?
package require
interp::delegate::method ?0.2?
::interp::delegate::method ?
-async?
name arguments
comm id
DESCRIPTION¶
This package provides a single command for use within
snit type
definition (i.e. actually a
snit::macro) for the convenient creation of
methods which delegate the actual work to a remote location via a
"channel" created by the package
comm.
API¶
- ::interp::delegate::method ?-async? name
arguments comm id
- This commands creates a method which is named by name. All
invokations of this method will delegate the actual work to the remote
location identified by the comm channel comm and the endpoint
id.
The name of the remote method invoked by the delegator is identical to the
name of the method itself.
Normally the generated method marshalls the arguments, and returns
the result from the remote method as its own result. If however the option
-async was specified then the generated method will not wait for a
result and return immediately.
