<h1> The <tt>s6-ipcclient</tt> program </h1>
<p>
<tt>s6-ipcclient</tt> is an
<a href="http://cr.yp.to/proto/ucspi.txt">UCSPI client tool</a> for
Unix domain sockets. It connects to a socket, then executes into
a program.
</p>
<h2> Interface </h2>
<pre>
s6-ipcclient [ -q | -Q | -v ] [ -p bindpath ] [ -l localname ] <em>path</em> <em>prog...</em>
</pre>
<ul>
<li> s6-ipcclient connects to a Unix domain socket on <em>path</em>. </li>
<li> It executes into <em>prog...</em> with descriptor 6 reading from
the socket and descriptor 7 writing to it. </li>
</ul>
<h2> Environment variables </h2>
<p>
<em>prog...</em> is run with
the following variables set:
</p>
<ul>
<li> PROTO: always set to IPC </li>
<li> IPCLOCALPATH: set to the path associated with the local socket,
if any. Be aware that it may contain arbitrary characters. </li>
</ul>
<h2> Options </h2>
<ul>
<li> <tt>-q</tt> : be quiet. </li>
<li> <tt>-Q</tt> : be normally verbose. This is the default. </li>
<li> <tt>-v</tt> : be verbose. </li>
<li> <tt>-p <em>localpath</em></tt> : bind the local
socket to <em>localpath</em> before connecting to <em>path</em>. </li>
<li> <tt>-l <em>localname</em></tt> : use <em>localname</em>
as the value of the IPCLOCALPATH environment variable. </li>
</ul>
<h2> Notes </h2>
<ul>
<li> s6-ipcclient is mostly used to connect a client to a
<a href="localservice.html">local service</a> without having
to implement networking in the client. For instance, the
<a href="s6-sudo">s6-sudo</a> program does this. </li>
</ul>
