DESCRIPTION

22       This package provides a single command for use within snit type defini‐
23       tion (i.e. actually a snit::macro) for the convenient creation of meth‐
24       ods which delegate the actual work to a remote location via a "channel"
25       created by the package comm.
26

API

28       ::interp::delegate::method ?-async? name arguments comm id
29              This commands creates a method which is named by name.  All  in‐
30              vokations  of  this  method will delegate the actual work to the
31              remote location identified by the comm channel comm and the end‐
32              point id.
33
34              The  name of the remote method invoked by the delegator is iden‐
35              tical to the name of the method itself.
36
37              Normally the generated method marshalls the arguments,  and  re‐
38              turns  the  result  from the remote method as its own result. If
39              however the option  -async  was  specified  then  the  generated
40              method will not wait for a result and return immediately.
