# <a name='synopsis'></a>SYNOPSIS

package require Tcl 8\.3  
package require interp::delegate::proc ?0\.2?  

[__::interp::delegate::proc__ ?__\-async__? *name* *arguments* *comm* *id*](#1)  

# <a name='description'></a>DESCRIPTION

This package provides a single command for the convenient creation of procedures
which delegate the actual work to a remote location via a "channel" created by
the package __[comm](\.\./comm/comm\.md)__\.

# <a name='section2'></a>API

  - <a name='1'></a>__::interp::delegate::proc__ ?__\-async__? *name* *arguments* *comm* *id*

    This commands creates a procedure which is named by *name* and returns its
    fully\-qualified name\. All invokations of this procedure will delegate the
    actual work to the remote location identified by the comm channel *comm*
    and the endpoint *id*\.

    The name of the remote procedure invoked by the delegator is \[namespace tail
    *name*\]\. I\.e\., namespace information is stripped from the call\.

    Normally the generated procedure marshalls the *arguments*, and returns
    the result from the remote procedure as its own result\. If however the
    option __\-async__ was specified then the generated procedure will not
    wait for a result and return immediately\.
