- =head2 Unix domain sockets
-
- This domain is quite regular and supports all calls that
- work on any domain, except for out-of-band data.
-
- =head2 Differences to generic behavior
-
- Addresses are file system pathnames. C<GUSI> complies to the
- Unix implementation in that it doesn't require the name to be terminated by a zero.
- Names that are generated by C<GUSI>, however, will always be zero terminated (but
- the zero won't be included in the count).
-
- struct sockaddr_un {
- short sun_family; /* Always AF_UNIX */
- char sun_path[108]; /* A pathname to a file */
- };
-
- C<choose()> works both for existing and new addresses, and no restriction
- is possible (or necessary).
