Subject: [Caml-list] unix domain sockets on windows
Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2014 09:43:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+c569V0tXfFN=RnemWg6FPo4CNczwnZ6x2RnitzwxOMmhYjkQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

I wonder if unix domain sockets are supposed to be supported on
Windows? Here is a session with the ocaml toplevel (4.01.0) on my
Windows machine:

# #load "unix.cma";;
# Unix.socket Unix.PF_UNIX Unix.SOCK_STREAM 0;;
Exception: Unix.Unix_error (Unix.EUNKNOWNERR 0, "socket", "").

Is that expected? Replacing PF_UNIX with PF_INET works.

On a related note, the "error message" provided by the unix module is
a bit funny:

# Unix.handle_unix_error (Unix.socket Unix.PF_UNIX Unix.SOCK_STREAM) 0;;
C:\OCaml\bin\ocaml.exe: "socket" failed: The operation completed successfully.

Thanks in advance,

Johannes
