[ot] named sockets

[Adam]

I kind of carelessly deleted /tmp/.X11-unix/X0. Now the thing is that
some programs which had not opened the socket before, can't connect to X.

The simplest solution would be just restart X, but that's too much effort
to me.

So I'm wondering, is there a way, kind of like "relink" system call which
coule take existing file descriptor (they are still so the fd is there,
just unlinked) and link it back to file name?

doing mksock  X0 [*], does not do the trick as the fd is different.

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/un.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	int sd; struct sockaddr_un sin;
	if ((sd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0))
	== -1) exit(1);
	strcpy(sin.sun_path, argv[1]);
	sin.sun_family = AF_UNIX;
	if ((bind(sd, &sin, sizeof(sin)) == -1))   exit(1);
	exit(0);
}
