This module implements the binrpc transport interface for &ser; rpcs. It supports various transports over which it speaks binrpc: Unix datagram sockets, Unix stream sockets, UDP and TCP. It also supports a backward compatible FIFO interface (using the old ser FIFO protocol). By default (if no parameters are changed from the config file) it uses a Unix stream socket under /tmp: /tmp/&ctlsocket;. This socket is also the default for &sercmd;. In general it's used in conjunction with &sercmd;. &sercmd; it's a unix tool for invoking ser/sip-router rpcs. It can be used both in interactive mode (supports tab-completion and history) or command line mode. $ &sercmd; ps 11262 attendant 11268 udp receiver child=0 sock=127.0.0.1:5060 11269 udp receiver child=1 sock=127.0.0.1:5060 11270 udp receiver child=0 sock=192.168.1.101:5060 11271 udp receiver child=1 sock=192.168.1.101:5060 11272 slow timer 11273 timer 11274 ctl handler 11275 tcp receiver child=0 11276 tcp receiver child=1 11277 tcp main process See utils/&sercmd;/EXAMPLES for more examples.

binrpc is a ser proprietary binary protocol for invoking rpcs. It was designed such that it would minimize the packet sizes and it would be very fast to parse (as opposed to XML-rpc). The binrpc encoding format is fully documented inside modules/ctl/binrpc.h.
