Metadata-Version: 1.0
Name: python-passfd
Version: 0.2
Summary: Python functions to pass file descriptors across UNIX domain sockets
Home-page: http://code.google.com/p/python-passfd/
Author: Martin Ferrari
Author-email: martin.ferrari@gmail.com
License: GPLv2
Description: This simple extension provides two functions to pass and receive file
descriptors across UNIX domain sockets, using the BSD-4.3+ sendmsg() and
recvmsg() interfaces.
Direct bindings to sendmsg and recvmsg are not provided, as the API does
not map nicely into Python.
Please note that this only supports BSD-4.3+ style file descriptor
passing, and was only tested on Linux. Patches are welcomed!

chapter 6.10

Platform: Linux
