Module Capnp_rpc_proto.SSource

The core types and module signatures.

Sourcetype 'a brand = ..

A way for objects to provide an optional private API to certain other modules. For example, CapTP proxies appear as plain services, but use this to reveal their target details to the CapTP layer so that it can shorten the path when sending such capabilties over the network.

Sourcetype attachments = ..

The capabilities attached to a message. This is only defined as an open type to avoid a nasty recursive type definition.

Sourcetype attachments +=
  1. | No_attachments
Sourcemodule type WIRE_PAYLOAD = sig ... end
Sourcemodule type WIRE = sig ... end

The core RPC logic can be used with different serialisation systems. The appropriate types should be provided here.

Sourcemodule type PAYLOAD = sig ... end

Wraps WIRE_PAYLOAD to deal with caps rather than attachments.

Sourcemodule type CORE_TYPES = sig ... end

This module defines a calling convention for invoking methods on objects. The objects could be remote, but this module doesn't define anything related to networks. These types are generated automatically from WIRE by Core_types.

Sourcemodule type NETWORK_TYPES = sig ... end
