The `s6-ipcclient` program

+ +

+s6-ipcclient is an +UCSPI client tool for +Unix domain sockets. It connects to a socket, then executes into +a program. +

+ +

Interface

+ +

+     s6-ipcclient [ -q | -Q | -v ] [ -p bindpath ] [ -l localname ] path prog...
+

+ +

s6-ipcclient connects to a Unix domain socket on path.
It executes into prog... with descriptor 6 reading from +the socket and descriptor 7 writing to it.

+ +

Environment variables

+ +

+ prog... is run with +the following variables set: +

+ +

PROTO: always set to IPC
IPCLOCALPATH: set to the path associated with the local socket, +if any. Be aware that it may contain arbitrary characters.

+ +

Options

+ +

-q : be quiet.
-Q : be normally verbose. This is the default.
-v : be verbose.
-p localpath : bind the local +socket to localpath before connecting to path.
-l localname : use localname +as the value of the IPCLOCALPATH environment variable.

+ +

Notes

+ +

s6-ipcclient is mostly used to connect a client to a +local service without having +to implement networking in the client. For instance, the +s6-sudo program does this.
