/// An unix domain sequential packet connection.
///
/// Sequential-packet connections have an interface similar to streams,
/// but behave more like connected datagram sockets.
///
/// They have guaranteed in-order and reliable delivery,
/// which unix datagrams technically doesn't.
///
/// # Operating system support
///
/// Sequential-packet sockets are supported by Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD
/// and Illumos, but not by for example macOS or OpenBSD.
///
/// # Zero-length packets
///
/// ... are best avoided:  
/// On Linux and FreeBSD zero-length packets can be sent and received,
/// but there is no way to distinguish receiving one from reaching
/// end of connection unless the packet has an ancillary payload.
/// Also beware of trying to receive with a zero-length buffer,
/// as that will on FreeBSD (and probably other BSDs with seqpacket sockets)
/// always succeed even if there is no packet waiting.
///
/// Illumos and Solaris doesn't support receiving zero-length packets at all:
/// writes succeed but recv() will block.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// What is sent separately is received separately:
///

#[cfg_attr(target_vendor="apple", doc="```no_run")]
/// let (a, b) = uds_fork::UnixSeqpacketConn::pair().expect("Cannot create seqpacket pair");
