3.3.10 Meta1-Style Components

Meta1-style components are declared using mode pass statement. For such components, you must declare both a socket to listen on (see inetd-socket and a UNIX socket name to pass the file descriptor to the component. The latter is defined using pass-fd-socket statement:

Config: component: pass-fd-socket file-name

The argument is an absolute or relative file name of the socket file. In the latter case, the chdir dir statement must be used for this component (see chdir), and the socket will be looked under dir.

This socket file is supposed to be created by the component binary upon its startup.
