Last I heard the domain sockets were just an emulation, implemented in
terms of loopback AF_INET sockets.  The most annoying limitation of the
implementation that I remember was that you had to define logical names
in the system table to tell it what ports to use:

$ define/system TCPIP$AF_UNIX_MIN_PORT 1000
$ define/system TCPIP$AF_UNIX_MAX_PORT 5000


SCM_RIGHTS _is_ defined in socket.h, but that may not mean much.
