Detailed Description

Specifies a simple object-oriented wrapper for GuestRPC commands.

This class provides a convenient way of executing GuestRPC commands. It automatically manages the internal state variables of a GuestRPC channel, opening it from a constructor and closing from a destructor. All channel interaction is performed using VMWareRPCChannel::ExecuteCommand() method. A channel is reusable, i.e. multiple commands can be executed sequentially without reopening a channel.

Remarks:

The "one call per request" model is not very convenient to use, so this class is not used directly. Instead, the AdvancedRPCChannel was used in KDVMWARE version 1.0. However, as the GuestRPC call processing time is almost fixed for a single backdoor operation, and is mostly not dependant on data size, the BufferedRPCChannel class reducing the number of backdoor requests should be used now to improve performance.
