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

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
