 ====== RPC daemon ======
-===== RPC daemon =====
+In OpenWrt we commonly use [[docs:techref:ubus|ubus]] for all kinds of communication. It can provide info from various software as well as request various actions. Nevertheless, not every part of OpenWrt has a daemon that can register itself using ''ubus''. For an example ''uci'' and ''opkg'' are command-line tools without any background process running all the time.

+It would be not efficient to write a daemon for every software like this and run them independently. This is why ''rpcd'' was developed. It’s a tiny daemon with support for plugins using trivial API. It loads library ''%%.so%%'' files and calls init function of each of them.

+The code is published under [[wp>ISC_license|ISC license]] and can be found via git at  [[https://git.openwrt.org/project/rpcd.git]].
 ==== Default plugins ====
-There are few small plugins distributed with the //rpcd// sources. Two of them (//session// and //uci//) are built-in, others are optional and have to be build as separated ''%%.so%%'' libraries. Apart from that there are other projects providing their own plugins.
