Description : Pass Go file descriptors and connections between different OS processes.
fd Package fd provides a simple API to pass file descriptors between
different OS processes.
.
It can be useful if you want to inherit network connections from another
process without closing them.
.
Example scenario: • Running server receives a "let's upgrade" message•
Server opens a Unix domain socket for the "upgrade"• Server starts
a new copy of itself and passes Unix domain socket name• New copy
starts reading data from the socket• Server sends its state over the
socket, also sending the number of network connections to inherit,
then it sends those connections using fd.Put()• New server copy
reads the state and inherits connections using fd.Get(), checks that
everything is OK and writes an "OK" message to the socket• Server
receives "OK" message and kills itselfDocumentation fd on godoc.org
