DESCRIPTION
The socket_receiver utility is used to accept data via a Unix socket, with data sourced from the same host, or another host on the same local area network. A socket_sender utility is provided for the purpose of sourcing data, as part of the scs_dev package.
The socket_receiver utility should be started before socket_sender. When socket_sender terminates, socket_receiver will also terminate.
If a port number is not specified, then port 2000 is used.

BUGS
It is possible to create scenarios where a port becomes orphaned. Depending on host operating systems, orphaned ports may take time to be garbage collected.
