Interprocess communications


Hi,

I have the need to create an SSL session between two
processes within eCos.  Because this is an SSL
session, I  need to use a socket for communications. 
However, it doesn't appear as if eCos supports
AF_UNIX.

So, I think my only solution is to create two
back-to-back sockets using TCP.  Is that correct?  I'd
like to avoid this for two reasons:
1) The overhead of TCP.
2) It'd expose a TCP port on my ethernet interface
which I don't want exposed.

I saw a recent contribution of a pipe library.  Is
that something I could use instead?

Any other suggestions?
