I think that the main benefit of implementing Unix domain sockets in usocket is to have a complete socket interface in Common Lisp (ie to not depend on system libraries like libfixposix, what is a case with iolib). > > Besides those links that you gave, before 2010, I myself have also > made a LispWorks version of Unix domain socket support as part of my > old project “LispWorks-UDP”: > > https://sourceforge.net/p/cl-net-snmp/code/HEAD/tree/lispworks-udp/trunk/unix.lisp > > So ... if you want to help, using all current available code plus your > own, that will be mostly welcome :) > > Regards, > > Chun Tian (binghe) Best regards, Daniel > >> Il giorno 16/ago/2016, alle ore 21:02, Marcin Moskal >> <m...@student.agh.edu.pl> ha scritto: >> >> As far as I know usocket does not provide implementation of Unix >> domain sockets, nonetheless SBCL[1], CCL[2] and ECL[3] (and maybe >> other) implement them.
