Allow passive mode

Hi,
Allowing a passive mode would be a great feature. Is there any plan to support it ?

Depending on the type of socket, you should be able to do something
similar to passive reads right now. For tcp/udp sockets, it's simple
(pass the fd into gen_tcp/gen_udp).

For other sockets types, you can try inert:

https://github.com/msantos/inert

inert is a driver that uses the erts event loop to poll the file
descriptor and sends the process a message when the fd is ready.

inert is probably still a bit too "low level" compared to the inet
passive mode. For example, the caller has to check still for {error,
eagain} (it's possible for the event loop to return a ghost event).

Thanks for the feedback and let me know if any of this wasn't clear or
if you have any suggestions!

Thank you very much, inert makes the job !
