It doesn't seem that this is possible. Is it the case that the server maintains a connection per client, and a child and parent count as 2 clients? Doesn't the child inherit the parent's file descriptor for the connection? In any case, is there any a parent and child can communicate with a single server without the child's opening a separate connection? Thanks in advance for any help.
