Re: [suse-programming-e] A question on passing descriptors between processes (in C)

As far as I know the process described in Stevens book is the standard way of transferring socket descriptors in cases where you have unrelated processes. However with if you had the old server fork() the new one, then the new one would inherit all the descriptors from the old server :)

Right, but I should exec* anyway, and I think exec clear all descriptors, or am I wrong? Praise
