<h1> The <tt>s6-fdholder-setdump</tt> program </h1>
<p>
<tt>s6-fdholder-setdump</tt> connects to a
<a href="s6-fdholderd.html">fd-holding daemon</a> listening on a
Unix domain socket, and dumps a set of file descriptors into
that daemon.
</p>
<h2> Interface </h2>
<pre>
s6-fdholder-setdump [ -t <em>timeout</em> ] <em>path</em>
</pre>
<ul>
<li> s6-fdholder-setdump executes into <tt><a href="s6-ipcclient.html">s6-ipcclient</a> <em>path</em>
<a href="s6-fdholder-setdumpc.html">s6-fdholder-setdumpc</a> <em>id</em></tt>. It does nothing else: it is just a
convenience program. The <a href="s6-ipcclient.html">s6-ipcclient</a> program connects
to a Unix socket at <em>path</em>, and the
<a href="s6-fdholder-setdumpc.html">s6-fdholder-setdumpc</a> program transmits the
file descriptors over the socket. </li>
<li> It should be used to connect to a
<a href="s6-fdholderd.html">s6-fdholderd</a> daemon, which will store the set of
file descriptors. </li>
</ul>
<h2> Options </h2>
<ul>
<li> <tt>-t <em>timeout</em></tt> : if the operation cannot be
processed in <em>timeout</em> milliseconds, then fail with an error message.
Communications with the server should be near-instant, so this option is
only here to protect users against programming errors (connecting to the
wrong socket, for instance). </li>
</ul>
<h2> Notes </h2>
<ul>
<li> The file descriptors to transmit to the server should of course be
already open in the s6-fdholder-setdump program; also, s6-fdholder-setdump
should have certain environment variables that describe that set of file
descriptors. The format of the environment is the same as the one set by
<a href="s6-fdholder-getdumpc.html">s6-fdholder-getdumpc</a>. </li>
</ul>
