# Net::Server::Proto::UNIX - phpMan

## NAME
    [Net::Server::Proto::UNIX] - [Net::Server] UNIX protocol.

## SYNOPSIS
    See [Net::Server::Proto].

## DESCRIPTION
    Protocol module for [Net::Server]. This module implements the UNIX
    SOCK_STREAM socket type. See [Net::Server::Proto].

    Any sockets created during startup will be chown'ed to the user and
    group specified in the startup arguments.

## PARAMETERS
    The following parameters may be specified in addition to normal command
    line parameters for a [Net::Server]. See [Net::Server] for more information
    on reading arguments.

    unix_type
        Can be either SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM (default is SOCK_STREAM).
        This can also be passed on the port line (see [Net::Server::Proto]).

        However, this method is deprecated. If you want SOCK_STREAM - just
        use proto UNIX without any other arguments. If you'd like
        SOCK_DGRAM, use the new proto UNIXDGRAM.

## METHODS
    NS_unix_path/NS_unix_type
        In addition to the standard NS_ methods of [Net::Server::Proto]
        classes, the UNIX types also have legacy calls to NS_unix_path and
        NS_unix_type.

        Since version 2.000, NS_unix_path is simply an alias to NS_port.
        NS_unix_type is now redundant with NS_proto.

        These methods were missing between version 2.000 and 2.003 but have
        been returned as legacy bridges.

## QUICK PARAMETER LIST
      Key               Value                    Default

      # deprecated UNIX socket parameters
      unix_type         (SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_DGRAM) SOCK_STREAM
      port              "filename"               undef

      # more recent usage
      port              "filename / UNIX"
      port              "filename / UNIXDGRAM"
