Dear User Group:
I find the easiest way to create a socket--such as /dev/log--
is with a utility program on the target platform.
The source code of such a program, called "mksock",
follows this note.
Is there some equivalent standard tool ? If not, perhaps
this functionality should be included in the standard
"mknod" utility.
Best Regards,
Paul R.
**************** Source Code for mksock ****************
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
/*
* Make a local socket node in the specified directory.
*/
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char *path;
int r;
if(argc != 2)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: mksock [path]\n");
exit(-2);
}
else
path = argv[1];
r = mknod(path,
(S_IFSOCK |
S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IWGRP |
S_IROTH | S_IWOTH), (dev_t) 0);
if(r != 0)
fprintf(stderr, "mksock: Failure Error = %d\n", errno);
exit(r);
}
