Description

I would like to be able to use Unix Domain Sockets as the transport to communicate between different processes on a single machine. There seems to be support in the C++ and Python libraries (the two other languages used in my project), but no support in Objective-C.

Proposed server interface:
TSocketServer *server = [[TSocketServer alloc] initWithPath:@"/path/to/pipe" protocolFactory:protocolFactory processorFactory:processorFactory];

Proposed client interface:
TSocketTransport *socket = [[TSocketTransport alloc] initWithPath:@"/path/to/pipe"];
