   Public Member Functions
       UnixSocket (const char *pathname, int backlog=5)
           A Unix domain 'server' is created as a Unix domain socket that is bound to a pathname
           and that has a backlog queue to listen for connection requests.

           Used to wait for pending connection requests.
       virtual ~UnixSocket ()
           Use base socket handler for ending this socket.

Detailed Description

       Unix domain sockets are used for stream based connected sessions between processes on the
       same machine.

       An implicit and unique UnixSocket object exists in Common C++ to represent a bound Unix
       domain socket acting as a 'server' for receiving connection requests. This class is not
       part of UnixStream because such objects normally perform no physical I/O (read or write
       operations) other than to specify a listen backlog queue and perform 'accept' operations
       for pending connections.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   ost::UnixSocket::UnixSocket (const char * pathname, int backlog = 5)
       A Unix domain 'server' is created as a Unix domain socket that is bound to a pathname and
       that has a backlog queue to listen for connection requests. If the server cannot be
       created, an exception is thrown.

       Parameters
           pathname pathname to socket file
           backlog size of connection request queue.

   virtual ost::UnixSocket::~UnixSocket () [virtual]
       Use base socket handler for ending this socket.
