zlink_core/connection/

mod.rs

//! Contains connection related API.
//!
//! The [`Connection`] type provides a low-level API for sending and receiving Varlink messages.
//! For most use cases, you'll want to use the higher-level [`proxy`] and [`service`] attribute
//! macros instead, which generate type-safe client and server code respectively.
//!
//! # Client Usage with `proxy` Macro
//!
//! The [`proxy`] macro generates methods on `Connection<S>` for calling remote service methods:
//!
//! ```
//! #[zlink_core::proxy(
//!     interface = "org.example.Calculator",
//!     // Not needed in the real code because you'll use `proxy` through `zlink` crate.
//!     crate = "zlink_core",
//! )]
//! trait CalculatorProxy {
//!     async fn add(&mut self, a: f64, b: f64) -> zlink_core::Result<Result<f64, CalcError>>;
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(Debug, zlink_core::ReplyError)]
//! #[zlink(
//!     interface = "org.example.Calculator",
//!     // Not needed in the real code because you'll use `ReplyError` through `zlink` crate.
//!     crate = "zlink_core",
//! )]
//! enum CalcError {}
//! ```
//!
//! # Server Usage with `service` Macro
//!
//! The [`service`] macro generates the [`Service`] trait implementation. See the [`service`] macro
//! documentation for details and examples.
//!
//! # Low-Level API
//!
//! For advanced use cases that require more control, the [`Connection`] type provides direct access
//! to message sending and receiving via methods like [`Connection::send_call`],
//! [`Connection::receive_reply`], and [`Connection::chain_call`] for pipelining.
//!
