I'm not sure which Unix you've been running for the past five or more
years, but a lot of stuff doesn't live in the file system name space
under various BSD derived systems, nor do the networking types believe
it belongs there. IMHO neither does a process handle, nor a
semaphore, and don't even talk to me about "named pipes" as an IPC
mechanism.
(Gee, I guess reasonable men might differ on what belongs in the name
space ;-)
