Coloc transport for IceRPC

IceRpc.Transports.Coloc is an implementation of IceRPC's duplex transport abstraction. You can use this transport to send RPCs to services hosted by IceRPC servers in your local application.

The primary use case for this transport is testing. Several unit tests running in the same process can easily and cheaply create their own private coloc connections.

This transport does not use network APIs. It is available on all platforms.

Sample code

// Create an IceRPC server with Coloc using IceRpc; using IceRpc.Transports.Coloc; var coloc = new ColocTransport(); await using var server = new Server( dispatcher: ..., multiplexedServerTransport: new SlicServerTransport(coloc.ServerTransport)); server.Listen(); // Create a client connection to this server await using var connection = new ClientConnection( new Uri("icerpc://host"), // you can use any host and port with coloc multiplexedClientTransport: new SlicClientTransport(coloc.ClientTransport)); await connection.ConnectAsync();
