Description

We need a nonblocking implementation for the listen() and accept() methods on the stream-typed sockets to allow individual NGINX worker processes to listen on some port or local unix domain socket files.

This will open the door for efficient inter-process communications and control-flow synchronizations among NGINX worker processes.

Research direction

Start by locating the stream-typed cosocket implementation and the existing socket method handling in this module. Review how nonblocking socket operations and worker-process interactions are represented. Done means stream-typed sockets support nonblocking listen() and accept() for network ports and local Unix domain socket files.
