 |I would like to develop a simple FCL filter for DeleGate but, unfortunately, I have not been able to find any documentation describing how to do it. Peeping through the src I have seen that the fds 0 and 1 should have the handles to the client and server flows, but I could not go any further.

 |-          Is there any description of DeleGate filter development?

It is described as follows in the reference manual:

  > CMAP="filterSpec":filterName:connMap

 |-          Any special consideration for Windows? We have not yet decided to run it on Windows or Linux, and I'm sure that file/sock descriptor passing shows some differences.

I strongly recommend you to use Linux (Unix) rather than Windows.
Filters on Windows can be slow due to lack of fork(), lack of
socketpair in AF_UNIX domain, special handling for socket handle,
and so on.

Cheers,
Yutaka
