- Subject: RFC: Unix domain sockets.
Has anyone thought about how to integrate support for unix domain
sockets into libgcj?
As far as I can tell they are not currently supported, but correct me if
I am wrong.
These are my current thoughts:
Create a new SocketAddress class for unix domain sockets (perhaps
gnu.java.net.UnixDomainSocketAddress).
To use them you would create either a Socket or ServerSocket with the
default constructor.
Then bind() and/or connect() passing UnixDomainSocketAddress instead of
InetSocketAddress.
The implementation would require some hacking in gnu.java.net.* but the
public interfaces (things in java.net) would not change.
What do you all think?
David Daney.
