Big thanks @beefon! Very excited for curie to get the ability to be controlled remotely. Raw sockets are a bit tricky, I wonder if it would make sense to try to use https://github.com/apple/swift-nio.

This is potentially insecure due to sun_path fixed size (https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu/blob/f6217f891ac0bb64f3d375211650a4c1ff8ca1ea/bsd/sys/un.h#L79C27-L79C30).

Is there chance here that the Darwin.close will be called twice for the same file descriptor?

Is there a possibility of data race, ie the property being accessed from multiple threads?

We could potentially check the return code to handle errors.

Since we're in Swift land, we can probably just throw CoreError.

Might be good to set a timeout.

Thanks @marciniwanicki , I think i have addressed comments. Please have a look. Re: swift-nio. I have attempted to do the socket using that library few months ago when i was doing my change, and I wasn't happy with result. It was super overengineered for such simple use case as i want to have in curie. Also, pulling in library that has more code than this project sounds weird. If this is blocker to you though, I can try to re-do the sockets based upon swift-nio. |

Thanks @beefon for the follow ups. I've seen few more small edge cases which might be problematic, but we can address them later. Great work.

Only implementation for the server socket which listens to the unix socket, and client which lets you talk to the server over socket. Plus some basic tests which describe high level usage.
