Net::Se...o::UNIX(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

Okay bestie, welcome to the Net::Se...o::UNIX(3) page in the User Contributed Perl Documentation — and it is literally serving main-character energy for Net::Server::Proto::UNIX, aka the Net::Server UNIX protocol. That's the whole NAME vibe, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

See Net::Server::Proto.

That's it. Short, iconic, zero filler. 🦋

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this is a protocol module for Net::Server. It implements the UNIX SOCK_STREAM socket type. For the full protocol tea, see Net::Server::Proto. ✨

Any sockets created during startup will be chown'ed to the user and group specified in the startup arguments. Ownership handled, bestie. 🫶

🌸 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. iykyk. 👑

🐚 unix_type

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 — and listen, bestie — 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. That's the move. 💅

🧚 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. Vintage but still invited to the party. 🦋

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. Welcome back, icons. 🫶

👑 QUICK PARAMETER LIST 👑

Here's the cheat sheet, bestie — same keys, same values, same defaults, no crumbs left behind. 🍓

🍓 deprecated UNIX socket parameters

• unix_type — value: (SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_DGRAM), default: SOCK_STREAM.
• port — value: "filename", default: undef.

🌈 more recent usage

• port — value: "filename / UNIX", default: (none listed).
• port — value: "filename / UNIXDGRAM", default: (none listed).

💖 LICENCE 💖

Distributed under the same terms as Net::Server. That's the legal tea, short and sweet. 🍓
