UnixDomainSocketEndPoint Requirements on Windows Not Documented #5309

Open
@iUnknwn

Description

@iUnknwn

To use UnixDomainSocketEndPoint on Windows, the socket must be created with:

  • AddressFamily.Unix
  • SocketType.Stream
  • ProtocolType.Unspecified

This isn't documented. Additionally, limitations of Unix domain sockets on Windows are also not documented (for example, you cannot have SOCK_DGRAM sockets on Windows (see dotnet/runtime#24065)

Would it be possible to update the UnixDomainSocketEndPoint documentation to list these requirements and limitations for Windows?
