A t is a connection to a remote vat.

A restorer is a function f for restoring saved capabilities. f k object_id must eventually call k result exactly once to respond to the client's bootstrap message with result. k takes ownership of the capability.

create ~restore ~tags ~fork ~queue_send is a handler for a connection to a remote peer. Messages will be sent to the peer by calling queue_send (which MUST deliver them in order). If the remote peer asks for a bootstrap object, restore will be used to get it. Log messages will be tagged with tags.

• parameter fork

  is used when dispatching a local method handler.

bootstrap t object_id returns a reference to the remote peer's bootstrap object, if any. object_id is the "deprecatedObjectId", which is, however, still used. This call does not block; the result is a promise for the object, on which further messages may be pipelined.

handle_msg t feeds one message received from the remote peer into t. It will call queue_send as necessary to handle the call. Messages MUST be fed to handle_msg in the order in which they arrive from the peer.

disconnect t reason breaks all references with reason and releases the bootstrap object. Does nothing if already disconnected.

tags t is a set of logging tags suitable for logging a message about this connection.

stats t returns statistics about the state of the connection.

dump formats a dump of the current state of the connection.

check t performs some sanity checks on the state of the tables and raises an exception if it finds a problem.
