Support unix socket addresses, and possibly arbitrary other address types (?) #466
Open
Description
This is almost definitely a breaking change, so just something to keep in mind for the future.
Seems like there are a plethora of socket types, which have different kinds of addressing. e.g. AF_UNIX
, AF_INET
, AF_INET6
. Don't know if any of the others are important.

Currently in FS2 we have an awkward SocketGroup
and UnixSockets
, when (in theory) they can actually be sharing the same machinery. Also, it's possible to use UDP with unix sockets, which the current FS2 encoding also does not support.
