Hi,

I connect two Unix Domain Sockets in datagram mode using socketpair():

  socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM, 0, fds);

And then, I create two uv_pipe_t and pass each of them one of the fds:

  err = uv_pipe_open(myPipe, fd);


So now I can write into one side of the pipe and the other receives it. Perfect.


The problem is that when one side of the pipe closes its sockets, the
remote side does not realize of it (uv_read_cb is not fired with
UV_EOF). Note that I've tried to close the socket in two ways:

  1) by calling uv_close(handle)
  2) by calling close(fd)  (in #include <unistd.h>)

None of them causes the remote to be notified. So my question is simple:

Is this because of SOCK_DGRAM usage? This is, regardless both sockets
are connected (paired), the fact that they use datagrams means than no
one will be notified at all about "disconnection" from the other, am I
right?

Thanks a lot.
