Subject: Descriptor Passing without unix domain sockets or streams ?
Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2010 21:30:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BCCAF48.3060809@yahoo.de> (raw)

Hello Mailing list,

i have a problem passing a file descriptor from one process to another.

I have two processes A and B. Both are running in different network and
filesystem namespaces, so it is impossible to use unix domain sockets or
net sockets to pass a file descriptor from process A to process B.

The usage of STREAMS is also impossible, as you can see in
	http://fixunix.com/unix/84093-streams-pipes-ioctl-i_sendfd.html

[quotation begin]
	Linux doesn't have STREAMS, which are the System V way
	of doing this task. ...
[quotation end]

Are there additional possibilities for file descriptor passing like
using a named pipe or something like that or does anybody know
a good workaround for this problem ?

Thank you very much !!
  Julian Thomé
