Class UnixDomainSocketChannelNotes

java.lang.Object

public class UnixDomainSocketChannelNotes extends Object
Explains Unix-domain socket channel support, introduced in Java 16.

Before Java 16, Java's standard socket channel APIs focused on network sockets. Local inter-process communication through Unix-domain sockets required platform-specific approaches or non-standard libraries.

Java 16 added standard Unix-domain socket channel support. The API is platform-dependent, so this repository keeps the example explanatory instead of opening OS-specific sockets in unit tests.
