StdConn

This is a simple library that runs a client executable (in the example, it uses go run), creates a net.Conn with the stdin/stdout on both sides so the controller process can send IPC messages

How to use

stdconn.go and worker/worker.go are the reusable/convenience parts . stdconn.go is the net.Conn implementation and worker.go is mainly just a helper to start up an arbitrary executable with arbitrary arguments, it also has helpers to send stop and kill signals.

hello/implementation.go contains an example RPC implementation. Note that the most basic implementation should have a function like Bye() to stop the client, as closing its connection when using this IPC mechanism does not stop the child process which will block unless it is explicitly killed, and using os.Signal requires adding this handling code. So they are there for defcon IV type situations mainly and if using signals is preferred.

hello/wrapper contains a set of wrappers that shortens the RPC call syntax. If asynchronous calling is required, the wrappers would mimic the calling pattern with a cancel function and function that returns the reply or error over a channel. Probably this could be automated somehow but I haven't got the need or time for that right now.
