dtcall1
Invokes a procedure on a remote dtype server
Usage
dtcall port
hostname
method
[arguments ...]
Overview
dtcall connects to the remote DType server running on hostname and listening for requests on port and requests the invocation of method on arguments. It prints the resulting values to the standard output.
As with fdscript(1), an argument of a single dollar sign ($) passes the whole contents of the standard input to the remote procedure as a string and an argument of a single dash (-) parses lisp objects from the standard input and passes them (as a FramerD choice) to the remote procedure.
Options
No options
Diagnostics
The program reports an error if the remote server fails to respond or if the server id cannot be resolved.
