- Subject: [ECOS] Interprocess communications
Hi,
I have the need to create an SSL session between two
processes within eCos. Because this is an SSL
session, I need to use a socket for communications.
However, it doesn't appear as if eCos supports
AF_UNIX.
So, I think my only solution is to create two
back-to-back sockets using TCP. Is that correct? I'd
like to avoid this for two reasons:
1) The overhead of TCP.
2) It'd expose a TCP port on my ethernet interface
which I don't want exposed.
I saw a recent contribution of a pipe library. Is
that something I could use instead?
Any other suggestions?
