<h3 class="section">14.5 Local (Unix) Domain Sockets</h3>
<p>Local domain (<code>AF_LOCAL</code>) sockets are also known as Unix-domain
sockets, but were renamed by POSIX presumably on the basis that they
may be available on other systems too.
<p>A local socket address is a string, which is used to create a node in
the local filesystem. This means of course that they cannot be used
across a network.
