# standalone socket-activate (sasa) #
This project provides a standalone C implementation of systemd-style
socket-activation for use on Unix-based systems that don't have systemd
installed.
It uses the simple [`sd_listen_fds` environment variable and file
descriptor
convention](https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/systemd/sd_listen_fds.3.en.html)
introduced by
[systemd](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/), without
using any code or dependencies from systemd.
See the [socket-activate manpage](./socket-activate.md) for more information.
## Code and Issues ##
The source code is available at
https://git.devuan.org/leepen/standalone-socket-activate where bug reports can
be made and pull requests are welcome.
## Dependencies ##
- make
- C compiler [tested with gcc]
- pandoc [for manpage only]
- diff, python3, netcat (openbsd) [for [tests](./tests) only]
## Similar work ##
[systemd](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/) offers
`systemd-socket-activate`, but that code is only for testing and has a few
drawbacks that hopefully this project avoids:
- The systemd project itself doesn't build on non-Linux systems.
- `systemd-socket-activate` doesn't allow for multiple sockets of
different types.
## Authors ##
This implementation of `socket-activate` is written by Mark Hindley
<mark@hindley.org.uk> based on an initial C implementation by Peter Pentchev
<roam@ringlet.net>. The [original Python 3
implementation](https://gitlab.com/dkg/socket-activate) was written by Daniel
Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>.
It is licensed under the [GPL version 3 or
later](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html)
