Arrgh! [As I rip chunks of hair from my head]
Thanks to those who responded to my question about unix DGRAM sockets.
Unfortunately, looking at linux/net/unix/sock.c reveals that DGRAM sockets
are not supported at all... I find it pretty annoying that one can even be
created at all if it can't be used!
There is only skeleton code in that file that returns EOPNOTSUPP with any
attempt to do anything on a DGRAM socket.
Is anyone working on an implementation right now?
Something else to change in the manpages... :)
Jeff
