unixsock.c   [plain text]


/* -*- c-file-style: "linux" -*-
 *
 * Try creating a Unix-domain socket, opening it, and reading from it.
 * The POSIX name for these is AF_LOCAL/PF_LOCAL.
 *
 * This is used by the Samba autoconf scripts to detect systems which
 * don't have Unix-domain sockets, such as (probably) VMS, or systems
 * on which they are broken under some conditions, such as RedHat 7.0
 * (unpatched).  We can't build WinBind there at the moment.
 *
 * Coding standard says to always use exit() for this, not return, so
 * we do.
 *
