# Mount RPC client -- RFC 1094 (NFS), Appendix A

# This module demonstrates how to write your own RPC client in Python.
# When this example was written, there was no RPC compiler for
# Python. Without such a compiler, you must first create classes
# derived from Packer and Unpacker to handle the data types for the
# server you want to interface to.  You then write the client class.
# If you want to support both the TCP and the UDP version of a
# protocol, use multiple inheritance as shown below.

# Unpacker derived class for Mount protocol clients.
# The important types we need to unpack are fhandle, fhstatus,
# mountlist and exportlist; mountstruct, exportstruct and groups are
# used to unpack components of mountlist and exportlist and the
# corresponding functions are passed as function argument to the
# generic unpack_list function.

	# - the "packer" function for the arguments (or None)
	# - the "unpacker" function for the return value (or None)

	# The packer and unpacker function, if not None, *must* be
	# methods of self.packer and self.unpacker, respectively.

	# return value, respectively.
	#
	# The return value from make_call() is the return value from
	# the remote procedure call, as unpacked by the "unpacker"
	# function, or None if the unpacker function is None.
	#
	# (Even if you expect a result of None, you should still
	# return the return value from make_call(), since this may be
	# needed by a broadcasting version of the class.)
	#
	# If the call fails, make_call() raises an exception
	# (this includes time-outs and invalid results).
	#
	# Note that (at least with the UDP protocol) there is no
	# guarantee that a call is executed at most once.  When you do
	# get a reply, you know it has been executed at least once;
	# when you don't get a reply, you know nothing.
