+ok
+2> {C1, R1} = thrift_client:call(C0, testVoid, []), R1.
+{ok,ok}
+3> {C2, R2} = thrift_client:call(C1, testVoid, [asdf]), R2.
+{error,{bad_args,testVoid,[asdf]}}
+4> {C3, R3} = thrift_client:call(C2, testI32, [123]), R3.
+{ok,123}
+5> {C4, R4} = thrift_client:call(C3, testOneway, [1]), R4.
+{ok,ok}
+6> {C5, R5} = thrift_client:call(C4, testXception, ["foo"]), R5.
+{error,{no_function,testXception}}
+7> {C6, R6} = thrift_client:call(C5, testException, ["foo"]), R6.
+{ok,ok}
+8> {C7, R7} = (catch thrift_client:call(C6, testException, ["Xception"])), R7.
+{exception,{xception,1001,<<"Xception">>}}
