<title>Unix Domain Sockets</title>
<para>
The <option>-U</option> option (same as <option>--unixsock</option>)
causes Ncat to use Unix domain sockets rather than network sockets.
Unix domain sockets exist as an entry in the filesystem. You must
give the name of a socket to connect to or to listen on. For
example, to make a connection,
</para>
<para><command>ncat -U ~/unixsock</command></para>
<para>
To listen on a socket:
</para>
<para><command>ncat -l -U ~/unixsock</command></para>
<para>
Listen mode will create the socket if it doesn't exist. The socket
will continue to exist after the program ends.
</para>
<para>
Both stream and datagram domain sockets are supported. Use
<option>-U</option> on its own for stream sockets, or
combine it with <option>--udp</option> for datagram sockets.
Datagram sockets require a source socket to connect from. By
default, a source socket with a random filename will be created as
needed, and deleted when the program ends. Use the
<option>--source</option> with a path to use a source socket with a
specific name.
