These drivers are used as the transport mechanism, or more
appropriately the interprocess communication mechanism, for
processes communicating in the UNIX® domain. Two drivers
exist: one provides connectionless service and the other
provides connection oriented service. Both the drivers are
loopback-TLI streams drivers. The socket driver (see
sock(ADMP))
passes data from the user to the UNIX domain sockets
drivers which in turn pass the data back to the socket
driver as appropriate.
