# Mount RPC client -- RFC 1094 (NFS), Appendix A # This module demonstrates how to write your own RPC client in Python. # When this example was written, there was no RPC compiler for # Python. Without such a compiler, you must first create classes # derived from Packer and Unpacker to handle the data types for the # server you want to interface to. You then write the client class. # If you want to support both the TCP and the UDP version of a # protocol, use multiple inheritance as shown below. import rpc from rpc import Packer, Unpacker, TCPClient, UDPClient # Program number and version for the mount protocol MOUNTPROG = 100005 MOUNTVERS = 1 # Size of the 'fhandle' opaque structure FHSIZE = 32 # Packer derived class for Mount protocol clients. # The only thing we need to pack beyond basic types is an 'fhandle' class MountPacker(Packer): def pack_fhandle(self, fhandle): self.pack_fopaque(FHSIZE, fhandle) # Unpacker derived class for Mount protocol clients. # The important types we need to unpack are fhandle, fhstatus, # mountlist and exportlist; mountstruct, exportstruct and groups are # used to unpack components of mountlist and exportlist and the # corresponding functions are passed as function argument to the # generic unpack_list function. class MountUnpacker(Unpacker): def unpack_fhandle(self): return self.unpack_fopaque(FHSIZE) def unpack_fhstatus(self): status = self.unpack_uint() if status == 0: fh = self.unpack_fhandle() else: fh = None return status, fh def unpack_mountlist(self): return self.unpack_list(self.unpack_mountstruct) def unpack_mountstruct(self): hostname = self.unpack_string() directory = self.unpack_string() return (hostname, directory) def unpack_exportlist(self): return self.unpack_list(self.unpack_exportstruct) def unpack_exportstruct(self): filesys = self.unpack_string() groups = self.unpack_groups() return (filesys, groups) def unpack_groups(self): return self.unpack_list(self.unpack_string) # These are the procedures specific to the Mount client class. # Think of this as a derived class of either TCPClient or UDPClient. class PartialMountClient: # This method is called by Client.__init__ to initialize # self.packer and self.unpacker def addpackers(self): self.packer = MountPacker() self.unpacker = MountUnpacker('') # This method is called by Client.__init__ to bind the socket # to a particular network interface and port.
