[Libevent-users] evconnlistener & local domain sockets



Hello,

   Will evconnlisteners work with (streaming) local domain sockets?

   Since local domain sockets in many ways can be used as a drop-in
replacement for TCP (just change an integer and an "address", and it
works the same (to a naive application)), I would presume it works.
However, the documentation explicitly states: ``The evconnlistener
mechanism gives you a way to listen for and accept incoming TCP
connections.''.

   Any reason evconnlisteners can't/won't work with local domain sockets?
