+@section Tcl RPC server
+@cindex RPC
+
+OpenOCD provides a simple RPC server that allows to run arbitrary Tcl
+commands and receive the results.
+
+To access it, your application needs to connect to a configured TCP port
+(see @command{tcl_port}). Then it can pass any string to the
+interpreter terminating it with @code{0x1a} and wait for the return
+value (it will be terminated with @code{0x1a} as well). This can be
+repeated as many times as desired without reopening the connection.
+
+Remember that most of the OpenOCD commands need to be prefixed with
+@code{ocd_} to get the results back. Sometimes you might also need the
+@command{capture} command.
+
+See @file{contrib/rpc_examples/} for specific client implementations.
