 Replying to [comment:12 nickm]:
 > Code in my `tor_api_owning_control` branch; PR at
 https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/260

 Thanks for working on this!

 I started doing some testing of this branch.

 So far I have verified that:

 1. By closing the control socket tor shuts down

 2. I am able to use the control socket to send control port commands

 Here is a snippet of the code I have used to test it:

 I think some more through testing is perhaps appropriate, but it for sure
 passes a smoke test.
