On another note, the GNU error message "No such device or address" applies for other cases than Unix domain sockets. From what I read from this post, the error message can apply to certain situations for character or block device, so we will want to cover those ends (probably as a separate PR). Might need some time to understand the cases where character/block device produce this error, but I can handle that in a separate PR or let someone take care of it (will put up an issue on this soon). |
