Module Rig_bin.Agent

rig agent: a machine's half of a job, and the agent it starts.

The half reads the job's key on its standard input, starts the agent (rig agent again, under RIG_REMOTE_REPORT), passes the agent's lines on to its standard output, and ends the agent when its input ends. The agent takes the machine's lock, listens and serves one job, and ends when its input ends. The half runs one thread; the agent adds one that watches its input.

#val half : firmware:string list -> string -> 'a

half ~firmware address is the half of the agent at address, HOST:PORT as written, which passes firmware on to its agent. It exits: 0 once the job closed, 123 otherwise.

#val agent : firmware:string list -> string -> int -> 'a

agent ~firmware host port is the agent listening at host and port. Its driver-less paths read firmware images from the directories firmware, in order, then from Rig_pci.Firmware.directory, then from /lib/firmware. It exits: 0 once the job closed, 123 otherwise.
