Hello -- According to the API posted in
Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2002 11:50:07 -0800 From: Aaron Bannert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (which is the last mention I can find in the dev@apr.apache.org archives), the apr_spipe_t looks _great_ for parent-child IPC, but is in no way meant to serve the same function that local sockets serve. Instead, it seems to replace/augment pipe(...), not socket(AF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM, 0). There is no way I can see to get one of the apr_spipe_t's returned from apr_spipe_create accessible in another process, save for a fork/exec. As I mentioned, the application I'm re-writing does NOT communicate with children, but rather, with entirely unrelated processes. If apr_spipe_t has been extended to include this sort of functionality, could the API be posted again? Thanks!
