erlang: UNIX domain socket support?

Question

Is there a way to access UNIX domain sockets (e.g. /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket ) directly from Erlang without resorting to a third-party driver?

Answer 1

Erlang/OTP comes with drivers for tcp and udp sockets only. So...

No.

Third part drivers

• unixdom_drv in http://jungerl.sourceforge.net/
• uds_dist in the source tree's driver examples
• procket at https://github.com/msantos/procket
