I believe the proper option is to use the properties of bind() as they
were intended to be used. bind() should only succeed if no other file
descriptors in the system are bound to the named UNIX socket.
Use open(O_CREAT) to create the file, bind() to try to get exclusive
access to it, and listen() to begin accepting connections.
This behaviour should not be optional. This behaviour is how it should
have been done all along.
Just trying to be helpful... :-)
