Procedures in this file

Detailed information

system.add (public)

 system.add [ args... ]

Simple test function. Add a variable number of integers.

Returns:
integer sum

Partial Call Graph (max 5 caller/called nodes):
%3

Testcases:
No testcase defined.

system.listMethods (public)

 system.listMethods

Enumerate the methods implemented by the XML-RPC server. The system.listMethods method requires no parameters.

Returns:
an array of strings, each of which is the name of a method implemented by the server.
Author:
Vinod Kurup

Partial Call Graph (max 5 caller/called nodes):
%3 xmlrpc::list_methods xmlrpc::list_methods (public) system.listMethods system.listMethods system.listMethods->xmlrpc::list_methods

Testcases:
No testcase defined.

system.methodHelp (public)

 system.methodHelp methodName

This method takes one parameter, the name of a method implemented by the XML-RPC server.

Parameters:
methodName - method implemented in XML-RPC
Returns:
a documentation string describing the use of that method. If no such string is available, an empty string is returned. The documentation string may contain HTML markup.

Partial Call Graph (max 5 caller/called nodes):
%3 api_proc_documentation api_proc_documentation (public) system.methodHelp system.methodHelp system.methodHelp->api_proc_documentation

Testcases:
No testcase defined.

system.multicall (public)

 system.multicall array

Perform multiple requests in one call - see http://www.xmlrpc.com/discuss/msgReader$1208

Takes an array of XML-RPC calls encoded as structs of the form (in a Pythonish notation here):

    {'methodName': string, 'params': array}
    

Parameters:
array - array of structs containing XML-RPC calls
Returns:
an array of responses. There will be one response for each call in the original array. The result will either be a one-item array containing the result value - this mirrors the use of <params> in <methodResponse> - or a struct of the form found inside the standard <fault> element.

Partial Call Graph (max 5 caller/called nodes):
%3 xmlrpc::invoke_method xmlrpc::invoke_method (private) system.multicall system.multicall system.multicall->xmlrpc::invoke_method

Testcases:
No testcase defined.
