Hello,

I need to interface R to another program that can
communicate over a Unix domain socket. This is a filesystem-based
socket, not a port-based socket (i.e., a AF_LOCAL or AF_UNIX socket, not
a AF_INET TCP/IP socket).

I am aware that R can connect to a
TCP/IP AF_INET socket. I am also aware that I can do some script-fu to
connect the two different types of sockets using solutions like socat. I
  am hoping that in the vast R world there is something that can just let
  me use the existing file socket directly, but I have been unable to
find anything to date.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

~Tomer
