That's *heavily* OS-dependent. Not all implementations of AF_LOCAL sockets work the same. > Just because UDP datagrams are unreliable that doesn't mean that UNIX > datagrams are too. True. But don't forget either that just because one implementation of AF_LOCAL actually is reliable doesn't mean that they all are. (Though if AF_LOCAL sockets are reliable, they should be SOCK_RDM rather than SOCK_DGRAM, I think.) der Mouse mouseat_private 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
