=head1 NAME

IO::Socket::UNIX - Object interface for AF_UNIX domain sockets

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use IO::Socket::UNIX;

    my $SOCK_PATH = "$ENV{HOME}/unix-domain-socket-test.sock";

    # Server:
    my $server = IO::Socket::UNIX->new(
        Type => SOCK_STREAM(),
        Local => $SOCK_PATH,
        Listen => 1,
    );

    my $count = 1;
    while (my $conn = $server->accept()) {
        $conn->print("Hello " . ($count++) . "\n");
    }

    # Client:
    my $client = IO::Socket::UNIX->new(
        Type => SOCK_STREAM(),
        Peer => $SOCK_PATH,
    );

    # Now read and write from $client

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<IO::Socket::UNIX> provides an object interface to creating and using sockets
in the AF_UNIX domain. It is built upon the L<IO::Socket> interface and
inherits all the methods defined by L<IO::Socket>.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

=over 4

=item new ( [ARGS] )

Creates an C<IO::Socket::UNIX> object, which is a reference to a
newly created symbol (see the C<Symbol> package). C<new>
optionally takes arguments, these arguments are in key-value pairs.

In addition to the key-value pairs accepted by L<IO::Socket>,
C<IO::Socket::UNIX> provides.

    Type    	Type of socket (eg SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM)
    Local   	Path to local fifo
    Peer    	Path to peer fifo
    Listen  	Queue size for listen

If the constructor is only passed a single argument, it is assumed to
be a C<Peer> specification.

If the C<Listen> argument is given, but false, the queue size will be set to 5.

If the constructor fails it will return C<undef> and set the
C<$IO::Socket::errstr> package variable to contain an error message.

    $sock = IO::Socket::UNIX->new(...)
        or die "Cannot create socket - $IO::Socket::errstr\n";

For legacy reasons the error message is also set into the global C<$@>
variable, and you may still find older code which looks here instead.

    $sock = IO::Socket::UNIX->new(...)
        or die "Cannot create socket - $@\n";

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item hostpath()

Returns the pathname to the fifo at the local end

=item peerpath()

Returns the pathanme to the fifo at the peer end
