# starlink-rs: Starlink dish gRPC definitions and client

> starlink-rs reconstructs Protobuf definitions exposed through a Starlink user terminal's gRPC server reflection and implements a Rust client for the dish. Its examples exercise request and response handling and bidirectional streaming over the local HTTP/2 endpoint.
