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
    }
