Stream on Unix socket

[pozz]

I don't know if Unix sockets (or named sockets) are C standard. I
think so, so I post on this ng.

I need to have a bidirectional communication between two different
process on the same computer. I'm using named socket with success.

The protocol is on a text basis and is based on messages with an
ending newline character (\n).

Is it possible to have a stream pointer (FILE *) from the socket file
descriptor so I'll be able to use fprintf() and similar functions?

They aren't. Try comp.unix.programmer.

No they're not.
