%%
%% An example Diameter client that can sends base protocol RAR
%% requests to a connected peer.
%%
%% The simplest usage is as follows this to connect to a server
%% listening on the default port on the local host, assuming diameter
%% is already started (eg. diameter:start()).
%%
%%   client:start().
%%   client:connect(tcp).
%%   client:call().
%%
%% The first call starts the a service with the default name of
%% ?MODULE, the second defines a connecting transport that results in
%% a connection to the peer (if it's listening), the third sends it a
%% RAR and returns the answer.

%% A real application would typically choose an encoding and whether
%% they want the call to return the answer or not. Sending with

%% is just for demonstration purposes.
