Checking the HPUX man page for it, I read socketpair() is supported only for AF_UNIX, which suggests that it's not possible to get datagram semantics from it, at least on this platform. SUS says that only AF_UNIX should be supported too: The socketpair() function is used primarily with UNIX domain sockets and need not be supported for other domains. That does not prevent you to set the type to either SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM, or even SOCK_SEQPACKET however.

Yeah, I suspect it just needs to replace the == AF_INET test with an isAF_INETx() test. But I don't have the facilities here to verify it. 4. pgstat code can only bind to 127.0.0.1 (v4 loopback).
