These drivers are used as the transport mechanism, or more
appropriately the interprocess communication mechanism, for
processes communicating in the UNIX domain. Two drivers
exist: one provides connectionless service and the other
provides connection oriented service. Both the drivers are
loopback-TLI streams drivers. The socket driver
(
sock(ADMP))
passes data from the user to the UNIX domain sockets
drivers which in turn pass the data back to the socket
driver as appropriate.
