-#|| <h2>Local (unix) domain sockets</h2>
-
-Local domain (AF_LOCAL) sockets are also known as Unix-domain sockets, but were
-renamed by POSIX presumably on the basis that they may be
-available on other systems too.
-
-A local socket address is a string, which is used to create a node
-in the local filesystem. This means of course that they cannot be used across
-a network.
