Subject: [PATCH ucspi-vsock] vsockclient: allow null application
Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2021 18:24:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210324182433.19110-1-hi@alyssa.is> (raw)
I found myself running
vsockclient 2 1024 true
in a situation where it just mattered that a connection was made, and
no data needed to be exchanged of it. That I found myself doing this
is quite a strong indicator that the program to exec into should be
optional.
UCSPI-1996[1] doesn't specify what should happen if no application is
provided, so I think this is a reasonable interpretation. I'm not
sure if I feel the same for vsockserver(d), so I haven't made the
corresponding change there. I'll wait to see if there's ever a need
for it.
