=head1 NAME

IO::Socket::UNIX - Object interface for AF_UNIX domain sockets

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use IO::Socket::UNIX;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C provides an object interface to creating and using sockets
in the AF_UNIX domain. It is built upon the L interface and
inherits all the methods defined by L.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

=over 4

=item new ( [ARGS] )

Creates an C object, which is a reference to a
newly created symbol (see the C package). C
optionally takes arguments, these arguments are in key-value pairs.

In addition to the key-value pairs accepted by L,
C provides.

    Type    	Type of socket (eg SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM)
    Local   	Path to local fifo
    Peer    	Path to peer fifo
    Listen  	Create a listen socket

If the constructor is only passed a single argument, it is assumed to
be a C specification.


 NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE

As of VERSION 1.18 all IO::Socket objects have autoflush turned on
by default. This was not the case with earlier releases.
