I have a question. If I dup2() the stdin/stdout(as in
inetd/tcpserver) using one end of socketpair() and
execute the child, would that make it work even the
child is expecting pipe like fd as its stdin/stdout ?

If that is the case, would that be a better option
than pipe(), as it has bidirectional capability yet
can be used as unidirectional pipe ?

Another related issue, must I use shutdown() for
socket or just close(fd) would do the same thing ?
