The ipcclient program

Interface

where opts is a series of getopt-style options, path is the filename for the client to connect to, and prog is one or more arguments specifying a program to run for each successful connection.

ipcclient attempts to connect to the local-domain socket associated with the filename path. For each connection, it runs prog, with descriptor 6 reading from the network and descriptor 7 writing to the network. Before running prog, ipcclient sets certain environment variables.

Options

General Options:

• -q: Quiet. Do not print error messages.
• -Q: (Default.) Print error messages.
• -v: Verbose. Do not print error messages and status messages.

Connection options:

• -p localpath: Bind the local socket to localpath before attempting a connection. Without this option, do not bind any filename to the local socket.

Data-gathering options:

• -l localname: Do not look up the name associated with the local socket; use localname for the environment variable $IPCLOCALPATH.
