.Fn socketpair "int d" "int type" "int protocol" "int *sv"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn socketpair
|
|
call creates an unnamed pair of connected sockets in
|
|
the specified domain
|
|
.Fa d ,
|
|
of the specified
|
|
.Fa type ,
|
|
and using the optionally specified
|
|
.Fa protocol .
|
|
The descriptors used in referencing the new sockets
|
|
are returned in
|
|
.Fa sv Ns [0]
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa sv Ns [1] .
|
|
The two sockets are indistinguishable.
|
|

|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|

|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EMFILE
|
|

|
|
.It Bq Er ENFILE
|
|
The system file table is full.
|
|
.It Bq Er EAFNOSUPPORT
|
|
The specified address family is not supported on this machine.
|
|
.It Bq Er EPROTONOSUPPORT
|
|

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn socketpair
|
|
function call appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.2 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
This call is currently implemented only for the
|
|
.Tn LOCAL
|
|
domain.
|
|
Many operating systems only accept a
|
|
.Ar protocol
|
|
of
|
|
.Ev PF_UNSPEC ,
|
|
so that should be used instead of
|
|
.Ev PF_LOCAL
|
|
for maximal portability.
