Previously, we relied on the `shutdown()` function to terminate `accept()` calls on a listening socket. However, this approach did not work on macOS as the waiting `accept()` call is not considered a connected socket, resulting in an `ENOTCONN` error. Instead, we now close the listening socket to terminate the `accept()` call. Additionally, we fixed a resource management issue where we set the `daemonSocket` variable to -1, triggering resource cleanup and causing the `stopDaemon` function to be called twice. This resulted in errors as the socket was already closed by the time the second `stopDaemon` call was made. Instead of setting `daemonSocket` to -1, we now release the socket using the `release()` method on a unique pointer. This properly transfers ownership and allows for correct resource cleanup. These changes ensure proper behavior and resource management for the recursive-nix feature on macOS. |

Nix
Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible. Please refer to the Nix manual for more details.
Installation
On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Nix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
Information on additional installation methods is available on the Nix download page.
Building And Developing
See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to to set up a development environment and build Nix from source.
