/**
* Inter-process communication and remote procedure calls
* for KDE applications.
*
* This class provides IPC and RPC for KDE applications. Usually you
* will not have to instantiate one yourself because TDEApplication
* contains a method to return a pointer to a DCOPClient object which
* can be used for your whole application.
*
* Before being able to send or receive any DCOP messages, you will have
* to attach your client object to the DCOP server, and then register
* your application with a specific name. See attach()
* and registerAs() for
* more information.
*
* Data to be sent should be serialized into a TQDataStream which was
* initialized with the TQByteArray that you actually intend to send
* the data in. An example of how you might do this:
*
* \code
* TQByteArray data;
* TQDataStream arg(data, IO_WriteOnly);
* arg << TQString("This is text I am serializing");
* client->send("someApp", "someObject", "someFunction(TQString)", data);
* \endcode
