Sockets.socketPair (3kaya)

Pair<Socket, Socket> socketPair( )

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

• sockets = socketPair(); pid = fork(); if (pid == 0) { // child process

     close(sockets.fst);
     // do something
  

  } else {

     close(sockets.snd);
     // do something else
  

  }
