            2 .SH NAME
            3 blind-to-named - Send a file descriptor
            4 .SH SYNOPSIS
            5 .B blind-to-named
            6 [-a]
            7 .I path
            8 .SH DESCRIPTION
            9 .B blind-to-named
           10 create a
           11 .BR unix (7)
           12 socket with the filename
           13 .I path
           14 and sends the stdin file descriptor to the
           15 first process that connects to it.
           16 .SH OPTIONS
           17 .TP
           18 .B -a
           19 Rather than binding to a filename, create and abstract
           20 address, starting with a NUL byte followed by
           21 .I path
           22 and padded with NUL bytes until the end of the address.
           23 .SH RATIONALE
           24 The pipeline construction, in even advanced, shells
           25 are not flexible enough to do all kinds of pipelinings
           26 that are necessary when doing complicated effects with
           27 .BR blind (7).
           28 For example, this is necessary to pipe video into
           29 two processes pipelines using
           30 .BR tee (1)
           31 and then using the end of both pipelines as the in
           32 input to the process, like inverse multiplexing.
