ipcclient opts path progwhere 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.
-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.
