description: >-
The unix-stream() and unix-dgram() drivers open an AF_UNIX socket and
start listening on it for messages. The unix-stream() driver is
primarily used on Linux and uses SOCK_STREAM semantics (connection
oriented, no messages are lost), while unix-dgram() is used on BSDs and
uses SOCK_DGRAM semantics: this may result in lost local messages if
start listening on it for messages. On Linux both the unix-stream() and unix-dgram() drivers are used and are always reliable. The unix-stream() driver uses SOCK_STREAM semantics (connection
oriented, no messages are lost),
while unix-dgram() is used on BSDs and uses SOCK_DGRAM semantics: this may result in lost local messages if
the system is overloaded.
