open(2) and domain sockets

[William Ahern]

i've added transparent support for client-side unix domain socket access in
my own xopen() type wrappers. how easy would it be to add this to glibc
(just to play around w/ the possibilities)? would the open(2) support
manifest cleanly thru applications like bash?

for instance would i be able to do:

	cat < /tmp/some_socket

assuming something was listen()ing on the other side?

tia,

Bill
