<title>Overview</title>
<para>
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).
</para>
<para>
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;.
</para>
<para>
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.

<title>BINRPC</title>
<para>
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).
</para>
<para>
The binrpc encoding format is fully documented inside
<ulink url='http://git.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=sip-router;a=blob;f=modules/ctl/binrpc.h' >
modules/ctl/binrpc.h</ulink>.
