- STROUT
-
-
- The STROUT sample demonstrates how to allocate memory at a server for
- a two-dimensional object (an array of pointers) and pass it back to the
- client as an [out]-only parameter. The client then frees the memory.
- This technique allows the stub to call the server without knowing in
- advance how much data will be returned.
- This program also allows the user to compile either for UNICODE or ANSI.
- See section below for guidelines on how to compile for UNICODE

- FILES
- =====
-
- The directory samples\rpc\strout contains the following files for
- building the sample distributed application STROUT:
-
- File Description
- -------------------------
-
- README.TXT Readme file for the strout sample
- STROUT.IDL Interface definition language file
- STROUT.ACF Attribute configuration file
- CLIENT.C Client main program
- SERVER.C Server main program
- COMMON.H Common header file for all the files
- REMOTE.C Remote procedures
- MAKEFILE nmake file to build 32-bit client and server applications
- for ANSI characters.
- MAKEFILE.UNI nmake file to build 32-bit client and server applications
- for UNICODE characters.
-
- NMAKE builds the executable programs CLIENT.EXE (client) and
- SERVER.EXE (server).
-
- Note: The client and server applications can run on the same
- Microsoft Windows NT computer when you use different screen groups.
-
-
-
- COMPILING FOR UNICODE:
- ======================
-
- type nmake /f makefile.uni at the command line. This will cause
- the compiler to use the file MAKEFILE.UNI instead of the MAKEFILE.
-
-
- The reason behind the use of TEXT, TCHAR, _TUCHAR, _tprintf, _tcscpy,
- _tcscmp, and _tcslen is that these macros expand to either
- one byte character ANSI functions or to UNICODE (Wide characters) functions
- when they are compiled
- TEXT : This macro will put an L in front of the string if we are
- compiling for UNICODE
- TCHAR : Maps to either char or wchar_t
- _TUCHAR : Maps to either unsigned char or wchar_t
- _tprintf: Maps to either printf or wsprintf
- _tcslen : Maps to either strlen or wcslen
- _tcscpy : Maps to either strcpy or wcscpy
- _tcscmp : Maps to either strcmp or wcscmp
