UNIXSocket.socketpair

(?::Symbol socktype, ?::Integer protocol) -> [ instance, instance ]
UNIXSocket.pair([type [, protocol]]) => [unixsocket1, unixsocket2]
UNIXSocket.socketpair([type [, protocol]]) => [unixsocket1, unixsocket2]

Creates a pair of sockets connected to each other.

type should be a socket type such as: :STREAM, :DGRAM, :RAW, etc.

protocol should be a protocol defined in the domain. 0 is default protocol for the domain.

Example
s1, s2 = UNIXSocket.pair
s1.send "a", 0
s1.send "b", 0
p s2.recv(10) #=> "ab"
