Support named pipe servers #34

Open ecki opened 3 years ago

ecki commented 3 years ago

Summary

Allow java to implement „forking“ named pipe servers which can accept multiple clients at the same time and optionally also access peer credentials.

Basic example

Implement servers like for example ssh keyagents in java.

Motivation

OpenJDK did gain some support for unix domain sockets, but the commonly used named pipes require a shim - at least for the server side.
