Erlang

Make sure you have mavg package installed. Then launch the port_sample binary using portserver.erl.

1> c(portserver).
{ok,portserver}
2> portserver:start_link({local, ocaml}, "./port_sample").
{ok,<0.40.0>}
3> portserver:call(ocaml, get, []).
{error,no_value}
4> portserver:call(ocaml, set, {foo,bar}).
ok
5> portserver:call(ocaml, get, []).
{ok,{foo,bar}}
6> portserver:call(ocaml, forget, []).
ok
7> portserver:call(ocaml, get, []).
{error,no_value}
8> portserver:ping(ocaml).
