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. | |
