Example: Socket.DupSocket method

Demonstrates how to call the DupSocket method. Delphi DLL

//  ...
//  ...

//  Duplicate the socket to share the same connection across threads.
//  In a multithreaded application, each thread should use its own socket object. For example:

//  - The main thread can use the original socket for reading.
//  - A secondary thread can use a duplicate for writing.
//  - Another thread can use a separate duplicate to monitor the connection status.

//  All three socket objects: socket, socket_for_sending, and socket_for_monitor share the same underlying connection.
