It’s always useful to have more introductory material. My (biased) viewpoint is that the “Network Socket Examples” section has the important thing because after all, changing these examples to use Unix-domain sockets instead of TCP should be a simple exercise for the reader. ;-) What would you add to that section? The glibc manual has additional examples to datagram sockets, among other things. Perhaps that should be an inspiration? Thanks, Ludo’.
