Description

There are various times when it is necessary to take an existing socket and use it to communicate.

• The most obvious is when we are started by systemd or inetd and passed the listening socket that they have accepted on our behalf.
• Another case is in tests when we might want to open a port using a random port number and then atomically hand that to test code.
