The only way I know of is to use fork. When you fork a
process, all open file-descriptors (including network
connections) are inherited by the child.

I've no idea how that could work (even in theory) on any OS
with which I'm familiar.

Private memory has nothing to do with it. The connection is a
data structure that lives in kernel space, not in user space.
Even if you could grant another process access to your "private
memory space", it wouldn't help you "transfer a socket
connection", since that connection is something the OSes
manages.
