Top Forums Programming Share socket fd between two processes Post 302464705 by jim mcnamara on Wednesday 20th of October 2010 07:39:46 PM

FWIW - consider reading 'Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment' by Stevens & Rago.

It covers how to pass socket descriptors among processes. DGP mentioned one basic way.
There are others that do not involve threads, only sockets.

This kind of thing is way beyond what we can post here in the forums.

NAME
socketpair -- create a pair of connected sockets SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> int socketpair(int d, int type, int protocol, int *sv); DESCRIPTION
The socketpair() call creates an unnamed pair of connected sockets in the specified domain d, of the specified type, and using the optionally specified protocol. The descriptors used in referencing the new sockets are returned in sv[0] and sv[1]. The two sockets are indistinguish- able. DIAGNOSTICS
A 0 is returned if the call succeeds, -1 if it fails. ERRORS
The call succeeds unless: [EMFILE] Too many descriptors are in use by this process. [EAFNOSUPPORT] The specified address family is not supported on this machine. [EPROTONOSUPPORT] The specified protocol is not supported on this machine. [EOPNOSUPPORT] The specified protocol does not support creation of socket pairs. [EFAULT] The address sv does not specify a valid part of the process address space. SEE ALSO
read(2), write(2), pipe(2) BUGS
This call is currently implemented only for the UNIX domain. HISTORY
The socketpair() function call appeared in 4.2BSD. 4.2 Berkeley Distribution June 4, 1993 4.2 Berkeley Distribution
