This lets us do fancy things and enables fd-passing more sanely over sockets.
Note that SCM_RIGHTS
handling is already present in the kernel, but it piggybacks on the incompatible sendfd
and recvfd
mechanism.
We should make SCM_RIGHTS
behave exactly the same as other Unixes, where the passed file descriptor is only part of a single message (as in sendmsg
/recvmsg
) and doesn't get queued up indefinitely on the socket (as we do in our sendfd
/recvfd
).
