| 8 | ---help--- |
| 9 | If you say Y here, you will include support for Unix domain sockets; |
| 10 | sockets are the standard Unix mechanism for establishing and |
| 11 | accessing network connections. Many commonly used programs such as |
| 12 | the X Window system and syslog use these sockets even if your |
| 13 | machine is not connected to any network. Unless you are working on |
| 14 | an embedded system or something similar, you therefore definitely |
| 15 | want to say Y here. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be |
| 18 | called unix. Note that several important services won't work |
| 19 | correctly if you say M here and then neglect to load the module. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Say Y unless you know what you are doing. |
