Module socket_server 

Socket Server - Unix Domain Socket / Named Pipe Server Module

This module provides a cross-platform Socket Server, similar to Docker’s /var/run/docker.sock design pattern, serving as a unified entry point for all IPC communications.

Features

• Cross-platform support (Unix Domain Sockets on Unix, Named Pipes on Windows)
• Multiple client connections
• Connection lifecycle management
• Integration with existing IPC modules

Example

use ipckit::{SocketServer, SocketServerConfig, Connection, Message};

let config = SocketServerConfig::default();
let server = SocketServer::new(config).unwrap();

// Handle connections
for conn in server.incoming() {
    match conn {
        Ok(mut connection) => {
            // Handle the connection
            if let Ok(msg) = connection.recv() {
                connection.send(&Message::text("Hello!")).ok();
            }
        }
        Err(e) => eprintln!("Connection error: {}", e),
    }
}
