You can even send a Unix socket over itself. The kernel has to be careful to handle that correctly. :)

That is pretty far-out, conceptually.

But in practice I assume there would be little need for that right? If you have the socket already and you get the same socket again from somebody else, would that give you any new capabilities?

If a socket is shared among multiple actors, can a same message be read by all of them? Or does the first reader "remove" the message from it?
