In `--daemon' mode, it goes into the background and waits +for incoming connections on a Unix domain socket, and forks a process +for each connection to perform the Nix store operations requested by +the caller. In `--slave' mode, `nix-worker' is called directly, and +the caller and the worker communicate with each other over +stdin/stdout. In this mode, the `nix-worker' program should have +appropriate setuid privileges. |
