I had started looking at that, thank you. So here is what I need to do to communicate to the server.
The server has created a UNIX domain socket, lets call it /tmp/connect_to_me and it is listening on it for connections. Lets switch to C++ for a second since the server is in C++ So client attempts to connect to /tmp/connect_to_me, the server accepts that and returns a "file descriptor" to the client for reading and writing... That is what my node client has to do. So now having read the net module, I can net.connect to /tmp/connect_to_me but now I can read and write from the domain socket which is not what I need to do, I need to read and write from the "file descriptor" or stream returned to me by the server. And that is what I am trying to solve. Any thoughts?
