Miroslav Lichvar	c7ae4940c3	privops: split send_to_helper() ... Split out the sending part of the function into send_request() and rename it to submit_request(). This will be useful to send a request without waiting for a response. Also, remove the fd parameter from the functions and just use helper_fd directly.	2015-12-08 17:50:07 +01:00
Miroslav Lichvar	aa4bf41400	privops: use SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets when supported ... SOCK_SEQPACKET is preferred over SOCK_DGRAM for communication with the helper as the process will get an error when the other end of the socket is closed. It's not supported on all platforms. If SOCK_SEQPACKET is defined, try creating the pair of sockets with this type first and if that fails, fall back to SOCK_DGRAM.	2015-12-08 17:38:56 +01:00
