Use Unix sockets on Windows if available #45

Open ncihnegn opened 8 months ago

ncihnegn commented 8 months ago

AF_UNIX has been available on Windows since 2017 (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/af_unix-comes-to-windows/).

Can we use Unix sockets instead of named pipes on Windows?

The Rust standard library seems to also be looking at supporting AF_UNIX , is that correct?

As Ud-sockets have been outsourced to the standard library, this is now blocked on upstream.
