    -- 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.
