Struct portunusd::door::Client

pub struct Client { /* fields omitted */ }

A Client handle for a door. Used by PortunusD to call your application.

When your application wants to receive requests from PortunusD, it must create a Door on the filesystem which points to a ServerProcedure function. This Client type is the reciprocal of a ServerProcedure – it is PortunusD’s way of accessing your application, much like a file handle is a means of accessing the bytes which make up a file.

Implementations

impl Client

pub fn new(path: &str) -> Result<Self, Error>

Try to create a new client, given a filesystem to a door.

This may fail if the door does not exist, if the path is not a door, or if some other terrible thing has happened.

pub fn call(&self, request: &[u8]) -> Result<Vec<u8>, Error>

Invoke the Server Procedure defined in a PortunusdD application

Forwad a slice of bytes through a door to a PortunusD application. If successful, the resulting Vec<u8> will contain the bytes returned from the application’s server procedure.

pub fn borrow(&self) -> ClientRef

Trait Implementations

impl Drop for Client

fn drop(&mut self)

Close PortunusD’s connection the remote application
