NAME

6       Sockets::socketPair - Create a joined pair of sockets
7

SYNOPSIS

9       Pair<Socket, Socket> socketPair( )
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  function creates a pair of sockets that can be used for bi-direc‐
13       tional communication. The most common use of this  is  for  setting  up
14       communications  between a process and its Posix.fork (3kaya) ()ed child
15       - each process closes one of the sockets after the fork.

18    sockets = socketPair();
19    pid = fork();
20    if (pid == 0) {
21    // child process
22      close(sockets.fst);
23      // do something
24    } else {
25      close(sockets.snd);
26      // do something else
27    }
