NAME
     socketpair - create a pair of connected sockets

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/socket.h>

     int socketpair(int d, int type, int protocol, int sv[2]);

DESCRIPTION
     The socketpair library call creates an unnamed pair of connected sockets
     in the specified address family d, of the specified type, and using the
     optionally specified protocol.  The descriptors used in referencing the
     new sockets are returned in sv[0] and sv[1].  The two sockets are
     indistinguishable.

RETURN VALUE
     socketpair returns a -1 on failure, otherwise it returns the number of
     the second file descriptor it creates.

ERRORS
     The call succeeds unless:

     EMFILE		 Too many descriptors are in use by this process.

     EAFNOSUPPORT	 The specified address family is not supported on this
			 machine.

     EPROTONOSUPPORT	 The specified protocol is not supported on this
			 machine.

     EOPNOSUPPORT	 The specified protocol does not support creation of
			 socket pairs.

     ENOMEM		 There was insufficient user memory for the operation
			 to complete.

     ENOSR		 There were insufficient STREAMS resources for the
			 operation to complete.

SEE ALSO
     pipe(2), read(2), write(2)

NOTES
     This call is currently implemented only for the AF_UNIX address family.
