client-funcall

Arguments: client op &rest args

This function calls a function in the client image and returns the values.

The client argument must be a client-lisp instance.

The op argument may be a symbol, a string, or a remote object instance. A symbol denotes the corresponding symbol in the client image. A string is decoded with read-from-string in the client image; the result should be a symbol. A remote object instance must denote a funcallable object in the client image.

The remaining arguments are the arguments passed to the function in the client image.

This function should be called only after client-ready-p returns t. If called when the client is not ready, an error will be signaled.

See Running several communicating Allegro CL images in rpc.htm for information on running several Lisp images.
