NAME
deleg_method - Creation of comm delegates (snit methods)
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.3
package require snit ?1.1?
package require interp::delegate::method ?0.2?
::interp::delegate::method ?-async? name arguments comm id
______________________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This package provides a single command for use within snit type defini-
tion (i.e. actually a snit::macro) for the convenient creation of meth-
ods which delegate the actual work to a remote location via a "channel"
created by the package comm.
API
::interp::delegate::method ?-async? name arguments comm id
This commands creates a method which is named by name. All in-
vokations of this method will delegate the actual work to the
remote location identified by the comm channel comm and the end-
point id.
The name of the remote method invoked by the delegator is iden-
tical to the name of the method itself.
Normally the generated method marshalls the arguments, and re-
turns the result from the remote method as its own result. If
however the option -async was specified then the generated
method will not wait for a result and return immediately.
