rsync - Jan 2004 - --daemon for clients

Hello

I have the following situation: one perl script opens a TCP connection to
a remote server running another perl script. The file descriptors on both
sides are mapped to STDIN and STDOUT file descriptors. After some
"talking", I would like to start rsync using the "exec" call
on both sides
of the connection, with both rsync partners using the existing connection
(inherited on STDIN and STDOUT). On the server side, this is no problem (I
can use the --daemon switch). Is there any way rsync can perform this on
the client side, too?

Thanks for any help

I have a vague recollection that of there being a patch that
would allow rsync to connect to open file descriptors.
