NAME

       io_socketpair - create a pair of sockets

SYNTAX

       #include <libowfat/io.h>

       int io_socketpair(int64 pfd[2]);

DESCRIPTION

       io_socketpair creates a new UNIX socket pair and writes both descriptors to d.  The socket
       pair works much like a pipe, but it  is  bidirectional  (i.e.  both  descriptors  are  for
       reading and writing).

       io_socketpair  returns  1  to  indicate  success.  If  something goes wrong, io_socketpair
       returns 0, setting errno to indicate the error; in this case it frees any memory  that  it
       allocated for the new socketpair, and it leaves d alone.
