Unix philosophy

[Mark Callow]

You're right.  Someone has thought of it.  It's called  a socket and it's in
4.2bsd.  In the Unix domain a socket appears as a name pathname in the file
systems to which any process can connect a socket of it's own.  A pipe
is in fact implemented by creating a pair of sockets and connecting them.
