NAME

6       Sockets - Unix Sockets
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This  module  implements interprocess communication using sockets. This
10       is  useful  for  communicating  between  two  processes  started   with
11       Posix.fork  (3kaya)  using  the  Sockets.socketPair (3kaya) function to
12       create the sockets.
13
14       Sockets are represented by the Sockets.Socket (3kaya)  data  type,  and
15       are  generally  similar  to  the  Net.NetHandle  (3kaya)  type  in  the
16       Net(3kaya) module.
