Abstractions over TCP and Unix sockets.

This crate is in development and wasn't widely tested yet. It may also lack some functionality. I'll be happy to accept contributions.

This crate helps you write applications that support both TCP and Unix sockets by providing mostly-drop-in replacements for the respective types. If target_family is not unix the unix socket support transparently disappears unless you're manually inspecting the socket address. This ensures your application is multi-platform out of the box.

The crate currently only supports streams, not datagrams.

To add Unix support to an existing application supporting TCP, follow these steps:

• Replace TcpStream (or UnixStream) with Stream
• Replace TcpListener (or UnixListener) with Listener
• Replace SocketAddr from std with SocketAddr
• Fix remaining type issues, if any. There shouldn't be many.

Feature flags:

async-io - uses the async-io crate to provide an async-std-compatible wrapper. Note that this wasn't tested in practice because I mistakenly thought I need this but I dicovered I don't just before testing it, so I just kept it in.

MSRV

The current MSRV is 1.70. The policy is to at least support the latest Debian stable release and not bump the version for cosmetic changes.
