Example listening daemon where two processes share a single socket, | |
letting the kernel decide which one gets each incomingn connection | |
This example uses AF_UNIX with SOCK_STREAM but you could use other | |
families and types as well. | |
Once it's running, connect to it and read the pid of the process | |
that answers your connection. Try this multiple times: | |
socat STDIO UNIX-CONNECT:testing | |
