[sr-dev] rpc scan behavior

[Ovidiu Sas]

What is the proper way to scan a string via the rpc interface?

<code_snippet>
str string = {NULL,0};

if (rpc->scan(c, "S", &string) < 1) return;
</code_snippet>

If I use the above code and I pass a string that is made out of
digits, I get the following error:
"error: 400 - error at parameter 0: expected string type but record
doesn't match type"

I would like to have the argument interpreted as a string no matter
what I pass as an argument via rpc:
sercmd> some_cmd abcd
the above will work ok
sercmd> some_cmd 1234
the above will give the 400 error
