The Courier and Remote Login Facility (CRLF) serves two functions. First, it provides for application programmers a presentation layer protocol called Courier 1. Courier enforces a remote procedure call discipline and allows the programmer to pass data between systems in a system independent form. Second, it implements a Remote Login Facility. This facility verifies a client's access rights, constructs an environment based on these rights, and starts up a program to process client requested services. Courier allows communication between two system elements (or hosts) by causing the creation of two programs: a user program on the initiating host and a server program on the remote host. Communication then takes place between the cooperating system elements by making appropriate calls to the Courier Interface Library.
