CV> * /usr/include/sys/socket.h: Add recvmsg and sendmsg. yes, but if i understand things correctly, Christophe was talking about passing file descriptors between processes by means of AF_UNIX sockets. btw, "Subject:" implies this :). this is done on unices via msg_control (or msg_accrights) field in msg structure. and unices ensure that the process which receives the message using recvmsg can use the descriptor for all kinds of file operations. in the case of cygwin, the receiver may get the value 3 in message packet, but won't be able to use it in "read (3, buf, sizeof (buf))" Egor. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ 5165414 FidoNet 2:5020/496.19 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
