fs socket

FS socket

An fs-socket is a unix socket living on the local filesystem. It is bidirectional, so supports the methods of both input and output ports.

Sockets come from three places: sys.fs.connect, the accept method of an fs-listener created by sys.fs.listen, or a call to sys.socket-pair.
