[section:local UNIX Domain Sockets]

Boost.Asio provides basic support UNIX domain sockets (also known as local sockets).
The simplest use involves creating a pair of connected sockets. The following
code:

  local::stream_protocol::socket socket1(my_io_service);
  local::stream_protocol::socket socket2(my_io_service);
  local::connect_pair(socket1, socket2);

will create a pair of stream-oriented sockets. To do the same for
datagram-oriented sockets, use:

  local::datagram_protocol::socket socket1(my_io_service);
  local::datagram_protocol::socket socket2(my_io_service);
  local::connect_pair(socket1, socket2);

A UNIX domain socket server may be created by binding an acceptor to an
endpoint, in much the same way as one does for a TCP server:

  ::unlink("/tmp/foobar"); // Remove previous binding.
  local::stream_protocol::endpoint ep("/tmp/foobar");
  local::stream_protocol::acceptor acceptor(my_io_service, ep);
  local::stream_protocol::socket socket(my_io_service);
  acceptor.accept(socket);

A client that connects to this server might look like:

  local::stream_protocol::endpoint ep("/tmp/foobar");
  local::stream_protocol::socket socket(my_io_service);
  socket.connect(ep);

Transmission of file descriptors or credentials across UNIX domain sockets is
not directly supported within Boost.Asio, but may be achieved by accessing the
socket's underlying descriptor using the [link
boost_asio.reference.basic_socket.native native()] member function.

[heading Notes]

UNIX domain sockets are only available at compile time if supported by the
target operating system. A program may test for the macro
`BOOST_ASIO_HAS_LOCAL_SOCKETS` to determine whether they are supported.

[section:stream_descriptor Stream-Oriented File Descriptors]

Boost.Asio includes classes added to permit synchronous and asynchronous read and
write operations to be performed on POSIX file descriptors, such as pipes,
standard input and output, and various devices (but /not/ regular files).

For example, to perform read and write operations on standard input
and output, the following objects may be created:

  posix::stream_descriptor in(my_io_service, ::dup(STDIN_FILENO));
  posix::stream_descriptor out(my_io_service, ::dup(STDOUT_FILENO));

These are then used as synchronous or asynchronous read and write streams. This
means the objects can be used with any of the [link boost_asio.reference.read
read()], [link boost_asio.reference.async_read async_read()], [link
boost_asio.reference.write write()], [link boost_asio.reference.async_write async_write()],
[link boost_asio.reference.read_until read_until()] or [link
boost_asio.reference.async_read_until async_read_until()] free functions.
