Re: [Wlug] Making a pipe or socket look like a file.

by J. R. Mauro

Unfortunately, you can't. It's one of the design flaws of Unix. You might be able to wrap it with a FUSE filesystem. But sockets and FIFOs are unfortunately "special" On Jun 30, 2009, at 21:42, Alex Camilo <alex.camilo(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I'm trying to extend the functionality of a piece of CAD software > i'm using.

Making a pipe or socket look like a file.

by Alex Camilo

I'm trying to extend the functionality of a piece of CAD software i'm using. The software package is called eagle and it has a custom in application scripting language that allows you to access an open CAD document by manipulating a tree of objects. The scripting language is fairly limited when it comes to talking to the outside world and only offers rudimentary file IO. I was wondering if any of you know how to make one end of a unix socket look like a file?
