NAME

Wily::Connect - Connects to a running Wily text editor.

SYNOPSIS

use Wily::Connect;
my $wily_socket = Wily::Connect::connect();

DESCRIPTION

The connect sub connects to wily this involves creating a unix domain socket, listening on that socket, writing the name of that socket to the fifo wily is reading from (either $ENV{WILYFIFO} or if that doesn't exist /tmp/wily[login]$ENV{DISPLAY}, and then accepting the connection to the unix domain socket that wily will make.

The functions does all of that and hence may block while waiting for wily.
