These low-level functions defined in <TT>*unix-package*</TT> are sometimes dangerous.
Use higher level functions defined in other packages if possible.
For example, use IPC facilities described in the section <A HREF="manual-node13.html#IPC">11.4</A>
instead of <TT>unix:socket, unix:bind, unix:connect</TT>, and so on.
