serve takes a callback; your callback will be handed a Rpc.Transport.t and it's your responsibility to create the Rpc.Connection.t. The transport will be closed when your callback returns; ending your callback with a call to Rpc.Connection.close_finished is likely appropriate.

val serve_inet : 
  where_to_listen:
    (Async_unix.Socket.Address.Inet.t, int) Async_unix.Tcp.Where_to_listen.t ->
  ?max_connections:int ->
  ?backlog:int ->
  ?drop_incoming_connections:bool ->
  ?time_source:[> Core.read ] Async_kernel.Time_source.T1.t ->
  ?max_message_size:int ->
  ?make_transport:transport_maker ->
  ?auth:(Async_unix.Socket.Address.Inet.t -> bool) ->
  ?on_handler_error:
    [ `Raise
    | `Ignore
    | `Call of Async_unix.Socket.Address.Inet.t -> exn -> unit ] ->
  (client_addr:Async_unix.Socket.Address.Inet.t ->
    server_addr:Async_unix.Socket.Address.Inet.t ->
    Async_rpc_kernel.Rpc.Transport.t ->
    unit Async_kernel.Deferred.t) ->
  (Async_unix.Socket.Address.Inet.t, int) Async_unix.Tcp.Server.t

serve_inet is like serve but only for inet sockets (not unix sockets), and returning the server immediately, without deferreds.

val connect : 
  ?max_message_size:int ->
  ?make_transport:transport_maker ->
  ?tcp_connect_timeout:Core.Time_ns.Span.t ->
  'addr Async_unix.Tcp.Where_to_connect.t ->
  (Async_rpc_kernel.Rpc.Transport.t * 'addr, Core.Exn.t) Core.Result.t
    Async_kernel.Deferred.t

connect ?make_transport where_to_connect () connects to the server at where_to_connect. On success, it returns the transport created using make_transport and the Socket.Address.t that it connected to, otherwise it returns the Error.

It is your responsibility to close the Transport.t
