This class is an NSCoder implementation specialized for sending objects over network connections for immediate use (as opposed to the archivers which persist objects for reconstitution after an indefinite term). It is used to help implement the distributed objects framework by the NSConnection class. Even for highly specialized applications, you probably do not need to use this class directly.
Method summaryCreate a new instance for communications over send and recv, and send an initial message through send as specified by comp.
Returns the NSConnection
using this
instance.
Return port object previously encoded by this instance. Mainly for use by the ports themselves.
Processes and acts upon the initial message the receiver was initialized with..
Encodes aPort so it can be sent to the receiving side of the connection. Mainly for use by the ports themselves.
Initialize a new instance for communications over send and recv, and send an initial message through send as specified by comp.
Returns YES
if receiver is in the
process of encoding objects by copying them (rather
than substituting a proxy). This method is mainly
needed internally and by subclasses.
Returns YES

substitute a proxy when encoding objects rather
