	1 .TH BLIND-TO-NAMED 1 blind
	2 .SH NAME
	3 blind-to-named - Send a file descriptor
	4 .SH SYNOPSIS
	5 .B blind-to-named
	6 [-a]
	7 .I path
	8 .SH DESCRIPTION
	9 .B blind-to-named
	10 create a
	11 .BR unix (7)
	12 socket with the filename
	13 .I path
	14 and sends the stdin file descriptor to the
	15 first process that connects to it.
	16 .SH OPTIONS
	17 .TP
	18 .B -a
	19 Rather than binding to a filename, create and abstract
	20 address, starting with a NUL byte followed by
	21 .I path
	22 and padded with NUL bytes until the end of the address.
	23 .SH RATIONALE
	24 The pipeline construction, in even advanced, shells
	25 are not flexible enough to do all kinds of pipelinings
	26 that are necessary when doing complicated effects with
	27 .BR blind (7).
	28 For example, this is necessary to pipe video into
	29 two processes pipelines using
	30 .BR tee (1)
	31 and then using the end of both pipelines as the in
	32 input to the process, like inverse multiplexing.
