stub

1. A dummy procedure used when linking a program

with a {run-time library}. The stub routine need not contain

any code and is only present to prevent "undefined label"

errors at link time.

2. A local procedure in a {remote

procedure call}. The {client} calls the stub to perform some

task and need not necessarily be aware that RPC is involved.

The stub transmits parameters over the network to the {server}

and returns the results to the caller.
