Subject: sockets for Icon?
Errors-To: icon-group-errors@cs.arizona.edu
Has anyone incorporated any socket code into the Icon run-time system,
or else into any compatible C libraries? Just curious. Would be nice
if Icon supported some form of interprocess communication. The "pipe"
option to open() has always been nice on systems that support it, but
it only works one way. Neither pipes not sockets are totally portable,
of course. But what with all of the TCP/IP-orinted software out there,
and what with daemons and servers becoming a more common way to imple-
ment certain things, I'd bet that someone has thought about how sockets
might fit into Icon....
Just curious.
