io_socketpair(3)      DragonFly Library Functions Manual      io_socketpair(3)

NAME
       io_socketpair - create a pair of sockets

SYNTAX
       #include <io.h>

       int io_socketpair(int64 pfd[2]);

DESCRIPTION
       io_socketpair creates a new UNIX socket pair and writes both
       descriptors to d.  The socket pair works much like a pipe, but it is
       bidirectional (i.e. both descriptors are for reading and writing).

       io_socketpair returns 1 to indicate success. If something goes wrong,
       io_socketpair returns 0, setting errno to indicate the error; in this
       case it frees any memory that it allocated for the new socketpair, and
       it leaves d alone.
