This class implements abstract UNIX domain sockets as found in the Linux operating system. Unlike Mono.Unix.UnixEndPoint, the path used to create this type of endpoint need not be a filename in the filesystem as it is just a unique string in the abstract namespace.

try
{
	AbstractUnixEndPoint endPoint = new AbstractUnixEndPoint (socketName);
	socket.Connect (endPoint);
	stream = new NetworkStream (socket, true);
	return true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
	baseException = ex;
	return false;
}
