It normally should be given a +command line crafted to make it execute into +<a href="s6-ipcserverd.html">s6-ipcserverd</a> to accept connections +from clients, or into a program such as +<a href="s6-applyuidgid.html">s6-applyuidgid</a> +to drop privileges before doing so. </li> + <li> The <a href="s6-ipcserver.html">s6-ipcserver</a> program does +exactly this. It implements +a full Unix super-server by building a command line starting with +s6-ipcserver-socketbinder and ending with s6-ipcserverd followed by the +application program, and executing into it. </li> +</ul> + +</body> +</html> |
