UNIX socket support for Twisted.
End users shouldn't use this module directly - use the reactor APIs instead.

Pack an integer into an ancillary data structure suitable for use with sendmsg.sendmsg.
Determine whether the given unix socket path is in a filesystem namespace.
While most PF_UNIX sockets are entries in the filesystem, Linux 2.2 and above support PF_UNIX sockets in an "abstract namespace" that does not correspond to any path. This function returns True if the given socket path is stored in the filesystem and False if the path is in this abstract namespace.
