Client Routines

The client and its stub use handles as temporary location identifiers to represent the object and the server to the RPC run-time routines. The object or server is linked with its specific location through a process called binding.

Manual binding occurs when the client makes the RPC library handle management calls directly. Automatic binding occurs when the client stub calls a routine (written by the application developer) that makes all of the client's calls to the RPC run-time routines.

The RPC run-time routines that are called by clients include routines that either create handles or manage their binding state. In addition, one routine sends and receives packets.
