[Haskell-cafe] How to return a network connection to C

[C K Kashyap]

I am using http://hackage.haskell.org/package/connection.
So I create network connection in Haskell

getConnection :: IO Connection

I'd like this connection to be returned to C so that subsequent calls from
C can send in the connection handle.

Regards,
Kashyap
