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. | |
