- Subject: open(2) and domain sockets
i've added transparent support for client-side unix domain socket access in
my own xopen() type wrappers. how easy would it be to add this to glibc
(just to play around w/ the possibilities)? would the open(2) support
manifest cleanly thru applications like bash?
for instance would i be able to do:
cat < /tmp/some_socket
assuming something was listen()ing on the other side?
tia,
Bill
