io_socketpair(3)	    Library Functions Manual		io_socketpair(3)

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.
