6 /* SUMMARY
7 /*	send file descriptor
8 /* SYNOPSIS

14 /* DESCRIPTION
15 /*	unix_send_fd() sends a file descriptor over the specified
16 /*	UNIX-domain socket.
17 /*
18 /*	Arguments:
19 /* .IP fd
20 /*	File descriptor that connects the sending and receiving processes.
21 /* .IP sendfd
22 /*	The file descriptor to be sent.
23 /* DIAGNOSTICS
24 /*	unix_send_fd() returns -1 upon failure.

114      * The CMSG_LEN send/receive workaround was originally developed for
115      * OpenBSD 3.6 on SPARC64. After the workaround was verified to not break
116      * Solaris 8 on SPARC64, it was hard-coded with Postfix 2.3 for all
117      * platforms because of increasing pressure to work on other things. The
118      * workaround does nothing for 32-bit systems.
119      *
120      * The investigation was reopened with Postfix 2.7 because the workaround
121      * broke with NetBSD 5.0 on 64-bit architectures. This time it was found
122      * that OpenBSD <= 4.3 on AMD64 and SPARC64 needed the workaround for
123      * sending only. The following platforms worked with and without the
124      * workaround: OpenBSD 4.5 on AMD64 and SPARC64, FreeBSD 7.2 on AMD64,
125      * Solaris 8 on SPARC64, and Linux 2.6-11 on x86_64.
126      *
127      * As this appears to have been an OpenBSD-specific problem, we revert to
128      * the Postfix 2.2 behavior. Instead of hard-coding the workaround for
129      * all platforms, we now detect sendmsg() errors at run time and turn on
130      * the workaround dynamically.
131      *
132      * The workaround was made run-time configurable to investigate the problem
133      * on multiple platforms. Though set_unix_pass_fd_fix() is over-kill for
134      * this specific problem, it is left in place so that it can serve as an
135      * example of how to add run-time configurable workarounds to Postfix.
