NAME

       Sockets::socketPair - Create a joined pair of sockets

SYNOPSIS

       Pair<Socket, Socket> socketPair( )

DESCRIPTION

       This function creates a pair of sockets that can be used for bi-directional communication.
       The most common use of this is for setting up communications between  a  process  and  its
       Posix.fork (3kaya) ()ed child - each process closes one of the sockets after the fork.

    sockets = socketPair();
    pid = fork();
    if (pid == 0) {
    // child process
      close(sockets.fst);
      // do something
    } else {
      close(sockets.snd);
      // do something else
    }
