New Features

The new features added to the Sun RPC library and the advantage of these features are as follows:

• One-way messaging—To reduce the time a client thread waits before continuing processing.

• Non-blocking I/O—To enable a client to send requests without being blocked.

• Client connection closure callback—To allow a server to detect client disconnection and to take corrective action.

• Callback user file descriptor—To extend the RPC server to handle non-RPC descriptors.
