Comment (by kolmodin):
Right, maybe I should have been more clear why I've been bugging you about
this :)
It seems that D-Bus is the main app forcing languages to implement this
linux specific feature, ruby also implemented it to support a pure ruby
implementation.
While forced to keep track of the address length I also wrote the previous
post to clean up a bit.
Many other languages expose the C network API to their users. As we've
noticed above, the difference is a prepending {{{'\0'}}} instead of a
trailing one.
Just making the network lib understand {{{(UnixSocket ('\0:path))}}} would
be perfectly fine by me, reusing the previous constructor.
That would work on any linux system, and on other *nix it would probably
complain that the address path is zero bytes long.
