Hi Alexandre,
Well, we need to support :
* peeking on a message * switching between message and byte mode at any time * reads that stop after reading a single message from a queue even if there's more data * interfacing to possibly remote named pipe ends
After reading the unix(7) man page, it seems they are close to what we want... however I'm not sure that we can do switching between message and byte mode properly.
Unix DGRAMS are apparently reliable and order preserving, so at least that isn't a problem.

Could you explain this a bit more? Why can't you use a datagram socket for message mode? I think we really want to avoid doing I/O through the server, our I/O is already slow enough as it is...
