title: unix domain socket VS named pipes?
body: <p>After looking at a unix named socket and i thought they were named pipes. I looked at name pipes and didnt see much of a difference. I saw they were initialized differently but thats the only thing i notice. Both use the C write/read function and work alike AFAIK.</p>
  
  <p>Whats the difference between unix domain sockets and named pipes? When would i pick one over the other? Which should i use by default (like how i use use vector by default in C++ than use deque, list or whatever else if i have needs)?</p>
