What is the difference between ntirpc and tirpc?

No description provided.

ntirpc is an improvement of tirpc to fully support a multi-threaded server with an attempt at fairness among clients, support for non-blocking responses, and async/non-blocking request processing.

There is definitely a larger issue of documentation...

See #260 for some issues with the man page

We should maybe properly document ntirpc from a good abstract to some lower level documentation,

This may take awhile...

There was no intent to maintain API compatibility, but as far as RPC layer processing (basic request/response, authentication, etc. ntirpc follows the specs). Not sure if that was what you were asking.

Yes, that’s what I am asking about, thanks.

So, if I have a program was linked against ntirpc, it is not guaranteed the program can be linked against tirpc , right?

Correct.

Also, please leave this issue open, we will use it to track adding more documentation. Thank you for calling attention to the lack of documentation.
