Re: [usocket-devel] Unix domain sockets

Hello,

I am currently implementing a D-BUS binding (http://github.com/blitz/cl-dbus) that needs a networking compatibility layer with support for TCP and local sockets. Not having to write implementation-dependent code to achieve this would be quite beneficial to the project.

I'd like to ask, if there is any interest in integrating Unix domain sockets (AF_LOCAL) or Linux' abstract socket hack into usocket.

Regards,

I think usocket is supposed to be a portable layer on top of what Lisp implementations offer. Whereas IOLib is supposed to provide you finer-grained access to what your OS offers.

Take a look at IOLib at

http://common-lisp.net/project/iolib/

it already comes with what you need.
