@@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +in hilbert os, a "socket" is a two-way byte-wise communication construct. each +socket has two ends, which can be either open or closed. each process has a +number of handles to sockets. sockets can be created in one of two ways: either +creating a private socket or connecting to a socket listener. + +private sockets: + a private socket is created with the "create private socket" system call. the + process creating the socket gets both ends of the socket. + +socket listeners: + a socket listener is created with the "create socket listener" system call. + an id string is passed to that system call and remains associated with the + listener throughout its lifetime. only one socket listener may have a given + id at once. while a socket listener exists, the owner of the listener can + call the "accept socket connection" system call, and any process can call the + "connect to socket" system call with that id passed. each of these system + calls blocks until the other occurs, at which point a socket is created with + the two process as its endpoints, and then both system calls return. the + listener remains alive after the socket is created, and can be used to create + more sockets until stopped with the "stop socket listener" system call. + +when a process is created, an end of a socket can be "gifted" to that process. +when that happens, the end remains open, and is now accessible by the giftee +and not by the gifter. + +when either end of a socket is closed, the other end of the socket remains +valid, and can be read from until empty. when
