[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, -- Julian Stecklina Well, take it from an old hand: the only reason it would be easier to program in C is that you can't easily express complex problems in C, so you don't. - Erik Naggum (in comp.lang.lisp)

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. -T.

Yes there is. Check this thread: http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/usocket-devel/2008-August/000430.html
