What is UNIX® domain drawer?

and Unix® Domain Socket is a special type of socket in the UNIX® (OS) operating system that transmits data from one application to another. Unlike other sockets that usually connect to other systems, the UNIX® domain drawer is the domain of the intermediate communication socket (IPC), which means it connects only to other programs on the user's computer. Structurally, the domain drawer is more of a named pipe than a drawer, although it has several functions that the pipe does not include. The use of domain sockets is safe because other networks cannot spy on a bit of data and the socket does not even need a network. These special sockets are used to push data from UNIX® file system to Another program rather than an external network.

While the UNIX® domain drawer shares many tasks and capabilities related to the socket, it is more of a named pipe. Named pipe is a way to stream dataAnd from one section to another. This is called a named pipe because the tube is given the name, as well as the UNIX® domain has the name - UNIX® file system itself works as a name. The main difference between the two is that the pipes can only offer the sequences of the bytes in which the data is read, as it is sent, while the domain sockets offer a byte current and datagram in which the information is read as a packet. Byte stream is better in terms of security, while the datagram is better for systems that send continuous messages.

UNIX® domain drawers are not created to integrate with external networks, but offer many comfortable features for local networks, whether one person or several people use a computer. Using the UNIX® domain drawer instead of other types of outlets, programs can obtain verification or permissions without having to enter it manually. The domain socket also takes over the UNIX® system rules, which is useful if different users are provided with different levelsAccess because these rules can be entered in the system and will take care.

More than other sockets and pipes is a safe UNIX® domain socket. The domain sockets do not allow the unscathed network to listen to the data flow and remote computers cannot connect to the current without access. All information about authentication and login is located in the UNIX® domain, so the user will never have to enter a password or username to log in to the server. This means that the programs that listen to the keys will not get this information.
