# 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.

# 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

# generic unpack_list function.

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

    # the remote procedure call, as unpacked by the "unpacker"
    # function, or None if the unpacker function is None.

    # return the return value from make_call(), since this may be
    # needed by a broadcasting version of the class.)

    # (this includes time-outs and invalid results).

    # 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.
