# RPC Examples

A number of example files are included in the`IDL_DIR/external/rpc` directory. A `Makefile` for these examples is also included. These short C programs demonstrate the use of the IDL RPC library.

Source files for the`idlrpc` server program are located in the`IDL_DIR/external/rpc` directory. Note that you do not need to build the`idlrpc` server - it is pre-built and included in the IDL distribution. The`idlrpc` server source files are provided as examples only.
