set of internet protocol service daemons for Unix

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

ipsvd is a set of internet protocol service daemons for Unix. It currently includes a TCP/IP service daemon, and a UDP/IP service daemon. An internet protocol service (ipsv) daemon waits for incoming connections on a local socket; for new connections, it conditionally runs an arbitrary program with standard input reading from the socket, and standard output writing to the socket (if connected), to handle the connection. Standard error is used for logging. ipsv daemons can be told to read and follow pre-defined instructions on how to handle incoming connections; based on the client's IP address or hostname, they can run different programs, set a different environment, deny a connection, or set a per host concurrency limit.
