	2 .SH NAME
	3 blind-from-named - Receive a file descriptor
	4 .SH SYNOPSIS
	5 .B blind-from-named
	6 [-t
	7 .IR decisecs ]
	8 [-a]
	9 ([-f
	10 .IR fd ]
	11 .I path
	12 .RI [ command \ ...]
	13 \|
	14 .IR path )
	15 .SH DESCRIPTION
	16 .B blind-from-named
	17 connects to a
	18 .BR unix (7)
	19 socket with the filename
	20 .I path
	21 and received a file descriptor.
	22 .P
	23 If a
	24 .I command
	25 is specified, the received file descriptor set to
	26 stdin, and the process executes to the specified
	27 .IR commmand ,
	28 otherwise, the input from the received file descriptor
	29 is sent to stdout.
	30 .SH OPTIONS
	31 .TP
	32 .B -a
	33 Rather than binding to a filename, create and abstract
	34 address, starting with a NUL byte followed by
	35 .I path
	36 and padded with NUL bytes until the end of the address.
	37 .TP
	38 .BR -f \ \fIfd\fP
	39 Assign the file descriptor number
	40 .I fd
	41 to the received file descriptor, rather than as
	42 stdin.
	43 .TP
	44 .BR -t \ \fIdecisecs\fP
	45 Try to connect to the socket for at most
	46 .I decisecs
	47 deciseconds, trying once per decisecond. (Default is 10.)
	48 .SH RATIONALE
	49 The pipeline construction, in even advanced, shells
	50 are not flexible enough to do all kinds of pipelinings
	51 that are necessary when doing complicated effects with
	52 .BR blind (7).
	53 For example, this is necessary to pipe video into
	54 two processes pipelines using
	55 .BR tee (1)
	56 and then using the end of both pipelines as the in
	57 input to the process, like inverse multiplexing.
