So I wonder – is it possible to pass accepted TCP connection (on Windows or Unix like OS) from one process to another? Here the point is to pass connection – not data in a way a proxy app would.

On Windows, use
WSADuplicateSocket, pass the filled inWSAPROTOCOL_INFOto the other process, useWSPSocketto recreate a socket.On unix-like OS’es this is possible using the
sendmsg()system call. libancillary abstracts this for you.
