Remote Procedure Call RPC

Introduction

Remote Procedure Call is a mechanism which allows a program to invoke a function that is defined in another address space. If a user, A, writes a function and shares it with another user B, then B can invoke the shared function in A's program. The return value of the function is retrieved by B, which can then be used in B's program.
