Abstract
A computer system exposes a hardware access library providing an interface for commanding an input/output device of the computer system. The computer system launches an agent process that can receives a request from a remote process to command the I/O device. The agent process invokes a first call to a middleware driver, the middleware driver invokes a second call to the client proxy, and the client proxy invokes a third call to a server stub, and the server stub accesses the input/output device responsive to receiving the third call via the hardware access library.
