<para>
The Unix module provides support for Unix sockets.  Unix sockets are
used to communicate between processes.  Unix sockets are for Unix
operating systems only and are not supported in Windows.  GNet's Unix
sockets are stream-based (like TCP), not datagram-based (like UDP).
Unix socket addresses are file names, like "/tmp/my_unix_socket".
</para>

<para>
To connect to a existing Unix socket, call gnet_unix_socket_new().  To
create a new Unix socket other processes will connect to, call
gnet_unix_socket_server_new().
</para>

<para>
The functions in this module are similar to those in the TCP module.
See the documentation on TCP sockets for more information.
