What I am proposing is the following syntax: if the host passed to the class is of the form: fd://12 The class will try to create a socket object against the file descriptor 12, and will not bind() it neither accept() it. Passing a pseudo-URL where a host name is expected sounds like a bad idea.

Well, unix sockets are using this convention to point paths to unix sockets.

e.g. unix:///some/path

in general, theURI scheme seems widely used out there,

What do you propose ? another option ?

Also, I don't understand the "neither accept() it" part. Surely you need to accept() incoming connections, so perhaps you mean "neither listen() it"? Yeah that was a typo -- I do listen() before I fork

(also, I'm not sure calling listen() another time is a problem)

I don't think so, but the usual pattern I have seen is to call listen() before the forking
