Functions

func Accept

func Accept() io.ReadWriter

Accept accepts a single client connection.

Notes that communication is done via stdio/stdout, thus an application should not read/write any data to/from these streams.

func Recv

func Recv(dst interface{}) error

Recv receives a message and decodes it into dst.

func RecvBinary

func RecvBinary() ([]byte, error)

RecvBinary receives a single binary message.

The format of the binary messages is not defined in any spec, thus a custom message format is used to transfer binary data.

func Send

func Send(obj interface{}) error

Send sends a message.

func SendBinary

func SendBinary(p []byte) error

SendBinary sends a single binary message.

The format of the binary messages is not defined in any spec, thus a custom message format is used to transfer binary data.
