Research direction

Look at the existing networking or I/O modules in the basic-cli repository to understand how sockets are currently handled. Check if there are any existing tests for TCP/UDP sockets to see the pattern. The goal is to add Unix domain socket listening capability, similar to existing socket support. Determine what the API for creating and binding a Unix socket should look like and where to document it.

Description

Is there some way to listen on an Unix socket? I could not find it in the docs.
