/**
* initWithFilename
*
* This method initializes a Unix domain or "local" server socket. Such
* a socket has a name in the filesystem, like an ordinary file. To
* connect, a client supplies the socket's filename, and the usual
* permission checks on socket apply.
*
* This makes Unix domain sockets useful for communication between the
* programs being run by a specific user on a single machine: the
* operating system takes care of authentication, and the user's home
* directory or profile directory provide natural per-user rendezvous
* points.
*
* Since Unix domain sockets are always local to the machine, they are
* not affected by the nsIIOService's 'offline' flag.
*
* The system-level socket API may impose restrictions on the length of
* the filename that are stricter than those of the underlying
* filesystem. If the file name is too long, this returns
* NS_ERROR_FILE_NAME_TOO_LONG.
*
* All components of the path prefix of |aPath| must name directories;
* otherwise, this returns NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_DIRECTORY.
*
* This call requires execute permission on all directories containing
* the one in which the socket is to be created, and write and execute
* permission on the directory itself. Otherwise, this returns
* NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
*
* This call creates the socket's directory entry. There must not be
* any existing entry with the given name. If there is, this returns
* NS_ERROR_SOCKET_ADDRESS_IN_USE.
*
* On systems that don't support Unix domain sockets at all, this
* returns NS_ERROR_SOCKET_ADDRESS_NOT_SUPPORTED.
*
* @param aPath nsIFile
* The file name at which the socket should be created.
*
* @param aPermissions unsigned long
* Unix-style permission bits to be applied to the new socket.
*
* Note about permissions: Linux's unix(7) man page claims that some
* BSD-derived systems ignore permissions on UNIX-domain sockets;
* NetBSD's bind(2) man page agrees, but says it does check now (dated
* 2005). POSIX has required 'connect' to fail if write permission on
* the socket itself is not granted since 2003 (Issue 6). NetBSD says
* that the permissions on the containing directory (execute) have
* always applied, so creating sockets in appropriately protected
* directories should be secure on both old and new systems.
