NAME

6       IO::Socket::UNIX - Object interface for AF_UNIX domain sockets
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use IO::Socket::UNIX;
10

DESCRIPTION

12       "IO::Socket::UNIX" provides an object interface to creating and using
13       sockets in the AF_UNIX domain. It is built upon the IO::Socket
14       interface and inherits all the methods defined by IO::Socket.
15

CONSTRUCTOR

17       new ( [ARGS] )
18           Creates an "IO::Socket::UNIX" object, which is a reference to a
19           newly created symbol (see the "Symbol" package). "new" optionally
20           takes arguments, these arguments are in key-value pairs.
21
22           In addition to the key-value pairs accepted by IO::Socket,
23           "IO::Socket::UNIX" provides.
24
25               Type        Type of socket (eg SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM)
26               Local       Path to local fifo
27               Peer        Path to peer fifo
28               Listen      Create a listen socket
29
30           If the constructor is only passed a single argument, it is assumed
31           to be a "Peer" specification.

36           by default. This was not the case with earlier releases.
