NAME
       socket - event signalling that a socket connection has been made

SYNOPSIS
       socket PROTO=PROTO PORT=PORT ADDR=ADDR

       socket PROTO=PROTO SOCKET_PATH=PATH

DESCRIPTION
       The  socket  event  is generated by the upstart-socket-bridge(8) daemon
       when a socket connection is made whose details match the	 socket	 event
       condition  and  environment  specified  in  a  jobs start on or stop on
       stanza.

       When an incoming connection is detected, the file descriptor represent‐
       ing  the	 socket	 is  passed  to	 the  job  in  question to allow it to
       accept(2)  the  connection.  Additionally,  the	environment   variable
       UPSTART_EVENTS  will  contain  the name of the event ("socket") and the
       environment variable UPSTART_FDS will contain the number	 of  the  file
       descriptor corresponding to the listening socket.

EXAMPLES

	      start on socket PROTO=inet PORT=80 ADDR=127.0.0.1

   Internet (IPv6) socket
       Start job when a client connects from localhost:

	      start on socket PROTO=inet6 PORT=80 ADDR=::1
