6 The Pigweed host target is used for unit testing and some host side tooling.
10 To build for this target, invoke ninja with the top-level "host" group as the

35 The host target implements a system RPC server that runs over a local socket,
36 defaulting to port 33000. To communicate with a process running the host RPC
37 server, use ``pw rpc -s localhost:33000 <protos>``.
41 The host target exposes a few options that may be used to change the host build
46 Pigweed includes a number of host-only tooling that may be built as part of the
