- RPCGEN
RPCGEN is an interface generator pre-compiler for
Sun Microsystems RPC. It uses an interface definition file to create client and server stubs in C.RPC Language
RPCGEN creates stubs based on information contained within an IDL file. This file is written in a language called RPCL - remote procedure call language. This language closely mimics C in style, and is designed purely for defining specification to be used for
ONC RPC .An RPC specification contains a number of definitions. These definitions are used by RPCGEN to create a header file for use by both the client and server, and client and server stubs.
