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.
