The basic algorithm to follow looks like * You'll find the PID of the client asking the question in the `PID=` field in the `[Ask]` section (Before asking your question use `kill(PID, 0)` and ignore the file if this returns `ESRCH`; there's no need to show the data of this field but if you want to you may) -* `Echo=` specifies whether the input should be obscured.

If this field is missing or is `Echo=0`, the input should not be shown as-is. * The socket to send the response to is configured via `Socket=` in the `[Ask]` section. It is a `AF_UNIX`/`SOCK_DGRAM` socket in the file system. * Ignore files where the time specified in the `NotAfter=` field in the `[Ask]` section is in the past. The time is specified in usecs, and refers to the `CLOCK_MONOTONIC` clock. If `NotAfter=` is `0`, no such check should take place.
