 16.5 The Local Namespace
 ========================
 
 This section describes the details of the local namespace, whose
 symbolic name (required when you create a socket) is 'PF_LOCAL'.  The
 local namespace is also known as "Unix domain sockets".  Another name is
 file namespace since socket addresses are normally implemented as file
 names.
