nanoline

Bridge your nanomsg sockets to and from UNIX's stdin/stdout. This works much like nanomsg's nanocat with the -A switch, but:

• sends each line from stdin on the nanomsg socket (if applicable to protocol)
• receives messages on the nanomsg socket (if applicable to protocol):
  • outputs messages without modification on stdout (not only valid ascii)
  • outputs a single newline after each message (message boundary)

If your messages contents contains newlines, these will be indistinguishable to the message boundaries created by nanoline. This tool is therefore intended to be used with message formats that don't use newlines (eg JSON).

Installation

The usual chicken process:

$ git clone git@github.com:anteoas/nanoline.git
$ cd nanoline
$ chicken-install -s

Usage

You can test it by running:

$ nanoline pair -b ipc://test.nn

And in another terminal in the same directory, try:

$ nanoline pair -c ipc://test.nn

Hopefully, this gives a two-way bridge between your terminals. Or try this:

$ while date ; do sleep 1 ; done | nanoline pub --bind ipc://test.nn &
$ nanoline sub -c ipc://test.nn
