unix-socket-example

Example repository of a basic unix socket server and client.

This repository demonstrates stream sockets, feel free to contribute a datagram example or add a link to one in this readme. Thanks.

Run the server with:
cargo run -- --server
Open a client connection with:
cargo run -- --client

A handy set of conditions:

The client's read socket closes when the server's write socket closes.
The server's write socket closes when the server's read socket closes.
The server's read socket closes when the the client's write socket closes.
