+.TH socketpair 2 2023-03-30 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+socketpair \- create a pair of connected sockets
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <sys/socket.h>
+.PP
+.BI "int socketpair(int " domain ", int " type ", int " protocol \
+", int " sv [2]);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR socketpair ()
+call creates an unnamed pair of connected sockets in the specified
+.IR domain ,
+of the specified
+.IR type ,
+and using the optionally specified
+.IR protocol .
+For further details of these arguments, see
+.BR socket (2).
+.PP
+The file descriptors used in referencing the new sockets are returned in
+.I sv[0]
+and
+.IR sv[1] .
+The two sockets are indistinguishable.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, zero is returned.
+On error, \-1 is returned,
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error, and
+.I sv
+is left unchanged
+.PP
+On Linux (and other systems),
+.BR socketpair ()
+does not modify
+.I sv
+on failure.
+A requirement standardizing this behavior was added in POSIX.1-2008 TC2.

+.BR socketpair ()
+first appeared in 4.2BSD.
+It is generally portable to/from
+non-BSD systems supporting clones of the BSD socket layer (including
+System\ V variants).
+.PP
+Since Linux 2.6.27,
+.BR socketpair ()
+supports the
+.B SOCK_NONBLOCK
+and
+.B SOCK_CLOEXEC
+flags in the
+.I type
+argument, as described in
+.BR socket (2).
