// sockets on linux/osx, and named pipes on windows.

// On the server side, there is a thread that listens for incoming connections,
// and it would create a new thread to handle each connection. Thus the RPC
// functions on the server side may be called from different threads, and it's
// the RPC functions implementation's responsibility to guarantee thread safety
// of the RPC calls. (e.g. using mutexes).
