# SocketPair
|
|
|
|
[](http://badge.fury.io/js/socket-pair)
|
|
|
|
A pair of coupled Unix sockets (or Windows pipes).
|
|
|
|
Similar to `stream-pair`, but with sockets with real fds. A workaround for <https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/12716>.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var socketPair = require('socket-pair');
|
|
|
|
var socket = socketPair.create(function (err, other) {
|
|
// socket as in `client = new net.Socket(); client.connect(...);`
|
|
// other as in `server.on('connection', function (conn) { ... })`
|
|
|
|
socket.write('123');
|
|
other.on('data', function (chunk) {
|
|
console.log(chunk.toString('utf8'));
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
socketPair.closeAll();
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
I named them `client` and `connection`, but their names really have no meaning.
|
|
|
|
You can call them `a` and `b` or `other` and `one` or `red` and `blue`. It makes no difference.
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
socketPair.create(cb) // creates or reuses a socket server
|
|
socketPair.closeAll() // closes the server and all sockets
|
|
```
