[erlang-questions] Unix Domain Sockets in v19

[Peter Lemenkov]

Hello All!
I belive this wasn't standartized prior to documenting, so there might
be some discrepancies. Here is how I send arbitrary data to DGRAM
Unix-socket:

https://gist.github.com/lemenkov/22c4d621b432c3a27574facddd9862f8

{ok, UnixSock} = gen_udp:open(0, [local]),
gen_udp:send(UnixSock, {local, "/dev/log"}, 0, "HELLO").

it works fine.
