Hi Gerd - there is none... It might seem a bit weird, but it's because 
in "batch" mode usually you mesh by specifying a special command line 
argument (e.g. "-3" for 3-D mesh). It's something we should add in a 
future release.

What do you plan to use the socket interface for? (Maybe using Gmsh 
directly as a library would better fit your application?)
