Hi,
I'm discussing the differences between unix-stream and unix-dgram on linux with my colleagues. It looks like the kernel-side and glibc-side implementation aren't different in the aspect of reliability. So why is it stated both in the reference guide and in the faq that unix-stream is more reliable?
This was my - incorrect - perception about SOCK_DGRAM type UNIX domain sockets. At least on Linux unix-dgram does not lose messages. I don't know about other platforms though. -- Bazsi
