Hello.

Is it possible to implement support for symlinks and wildcard
character in unix-dgram() function ?

For example. Some services can use chroot environment and dev/log
can be placed to chroot. Some directories may have a set of symbolic
links to various dev/log:

# ls -l /etc/syslog.d/*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Apr  2 20:36 /etc/syslog.d/bind -> /var/lib/bind/dev/log
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Feb 19  2010 /etc/syslog.d/klogd -> /var/lib/klogd/dev/log

it would be convenient to describe it as unix-dgram("/etc/syslog.d/")
