+to implement a client interface with subsessions</title><shortdesc>Provides code snippets to help you to implement a
+client interface with subsessions.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>A client side subsession is represented by an instance of a class derived
+from <codeph>RSubSessionBase</codeph> which provides the behaviour for: </p>
+<ul>
+<li id="GUID-E82084CE-E5AF-56D8-934C-A183809532A2"><p>creating a subsession
+in the server </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-F810EEC0-E0B1-52F1-9587-72BB41AD54C0"><p>sending messages to
+the subsession. </p> </li>
+</ul>
+<p>In the following code fragment, taken from the example that can be found
+at <filepath>...\examples\Base\IPC\ClientServer\complex</filepath>, the class <codeph>RCountSubSession</codeph>,
+derived from <codeph>RSubSessionBase</codeph>, represents the client side
+subsession with a server (in the example the server is also referred to as
+the count server). The assumption is made that the client has already established
+a session with the server as represented by the <codeph>RCountSession</codeph> class. </p>
+<codeblock id="GUID-C9F043AD-A44B-5EC8-9ED4-932747EB6C9B" xml:space="preserve">class RCountSubSession : public RSubSessionBase

+    void Close();
+    void Increase();

+session is specified as the function's single argument. The function calls <codeph>RSubSessionBase::CreateSubSession()</codeph> which,
+in turn, causes a server side subsession object to be created and its handle
+number to be returned. </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-3762EF2B-D88B-5F8A-A0CD-C9D83ACEC208"><p>Client subsession interface
+functions, such as <codeph>CounterValue()</codeph>, send a specific message
