            Bug ID: 215613
           Summary: uri.7: DESCRIPTION: Usage: No description of the
                    'unix' URI scheme
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: alx.manpages@gmail.com
        Regression: No

The subsection DESCRIPTION/Usage provides a description of common schemes in
use on UNIX-like systems, but there's no mention of the 'unix:' scheme for Unix
domain sockets.

AFAIK, it uses the same format as 'file:' (which is documented), but I don't
know if there are any differences.

--- Comment #1 from Thomas Piekarski (t.piekarski@deloquencia.de) ---
I took a look into it and I have been unable to find any RFC for Unix domain
socket URI schema for comparing if it is the same like file URI schema. 

The IANA is not listing it [1].
The W3C is not listing it [2].
The RFC for Uniform Resource Locators [3] is not mentioning it nor does the RFC
for file [4]. Well later was just a shot :-)

Maybe it is due to its nature for being used for inter-process communication,
but from where such schema similar to internet schemas derive from?

The form is the same, but do unix://localhost/var/some-socket.sock accept such
a form with localhost inside like file does? And do they behave the same in
regards of file permissions?
