RPCSVC
The RPCSVC program demonstrates how to implement an NT system service that
uses RPC.
SUMMARY
=======
This particular RPC service is designed to show the performance effects of
various parameters to RPC APIs and interface design.
The service can be started and stopped from either the Services control
panel, the net start/stop command line, or by using the Service Controller
utility (see below).
The service also provides command-line parameters which install, remove, or
run (debug) the service as a console application.
This sample (and service.c) is based on the win32\service sample.
FILES
=====
The directory samples\rpc\handles\rpcsvc contains the following files to
build the distributed application RPCSVC:
File Description
README.TXT Readme file for the RPCSVC sample
RPCSVC.IDL Interface definition language file
RPCSVC.ACF Attribute configuration file
CLIENT.C Client main program
SERVER.C Server main program
SERVICE.C Service APIs
SERVICE.H
MAKEFILE Nmake file to build for Windows NT or Windows 95
TO USE:
-------
To install the service, first compile everything, and then type:
rpcsvc -install
To start the service, use the control panel or type:
net start simplerpcservice
Once the service has been started, you can use the CLIENT program to verify
that it really is working, using the syntax:
svcclnt [-i iterations] [-t protseq] [-n servername] [-s security]
By default, the service listens to ncalrpc, ncacn_np, ncacn_ip_tcp and
ncadg_ip_udp. If no parameters are passed to the client, it uses ncalrpc
with default LPC security.
If, after playing with the sample you wish to remove the service, simply
run:
rpcsvc -remove
You can run the service from the command line with:
rpcsvc -debug
MORE INFORMATION:
=================
See the sample in samples\win32\service for more information on NT system
service and how service.c and service.h work.
server.c implements a bunch of APIs:
ServiceStart() is called when the server is starting. It uses server
transports, registers its endpoints and interfaces and starts listening.
ServiceStop() is called when the service should stop. It just calls
RpcMgmtStopServerListening().
Manager APIs (implement the remote side of the operations defined in the
rpcsvc.idl file.
Client.c binds to the server (as specified on the command line) and then
times a bunch of different RPC calls to the server.
