   8           If you say Y here, you will include support for Unix domain sockets;
   9           sockets are the standard Unix mechanism for establishing and
  10           accessing network connections.  Many commonly used programs such as
  11           the X Window system and syslog use these sockets even if your
  12           machine is not connected to any network.  Unless you are working on
  13           an embedded system or something similar, you therefore definitely
  14           want to say Y here.

  16           To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
  17           called unix.  Note that several important services won't work
  18           correctly if you say M here and then neglect to load the module.

  20           Say Y unless you know what you are doing.
