//! Remote handle to an object.
//!
//! Handles provide the ability to send a shared reference to a local object to
//! a remote endpoint.
//! The remote endpoint cannot access the referenced object remotely but it can send back
//! the handle (or a clone of it), which can then be dereferenced locally.
//!
//! Handles can be cloned and they are reference counted.
//! If all handles to the object are dropped, it is dropped automatically.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! [Create a handle](Handle::new) to an object and send it to a remote endpoint, for example
//! over a channel from the [rch](crate::rch) module.
//! When you receive a handle that was created locally from the remote endpoint, use [Handle::as_ref]
//! to access the object it references.
//! Calling [Handle::as_ref] on a handle that was not created locally will result in an error.
//!
//! # Security
//!
//! When sending a handle an UUID is generated, associated with the object and send to the
//! remote endpoint.
//! Since the object itself is never send, there is no risk that private data within the object
//! may be accessed remotely.
//!
//! The UUID is associated with the [channel multiplexer](crate::chmux) over which the
//! handle was sent to the remote endpoint and a received handle can only access the object
//! if it is received over the same channel multiplexer connection.
//! Thus, even if the UUID is eavesdropped during transmission, another remote endpoint connected
//! via a different channel multiplexer connection will not be able to access the object
//! by constructing and sending back a handle with the eavesdropped UUID.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! In the following example the server creates a handle and sends it to the client.
//! The client tries to dereference a handle but receives an error because the handle
//! was not created locally.
//! The client then sends back the handle to the server.
//! The server can successfully dereference the received handle.
//!
//! ```
//! use remoc::prelude::*;
//! use remoc::robj::handle::{Handle, HandleError};
//!
//! // This would be run on the client.
//! async fn client(
//! mut tx: rch::base::Sender<Handle<String>>,
//! mut rx: rch::base::Receiver<Handle<String>>,
//! ) {
//! let handle = rx.recv().await.unwrap().unwrap();
//! assert!(matches!(handle.as_ref().await, Err(HandleError::Unknown)));
//! tx.send(handle).await.unwrap();
//! }
//!
//! // This would be run on the server.
//! async fn server(
//! mut tx: rch::base::Sender<Handle<String>>,
//! mut rx: rch::base::Receiver<Handle<String>>,
//! ) {
//! let data = "private data".to_string();
//! let handle = Handle::new(data);
//! assert_eq!(*handle.as_ref().await.unwrap(), "private data".to_string());
//!
//! tx.send(handle).await.unwrap();
//!
//! let handle = rx.recv().await.unwrap().unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(*handle.as_ref().await.unwrap(), "private data".to_string());
//! }
//! # tokio_test::block_on(remoc::doctest::client_server_bidir(client, server));
