7 ---help---
8 If you say Y here, you will include support for Unix domain sockets;
9 sockets are the standard Unix mechanism for establishing and
10 accessing network connections. Many commonly used programs such as
11 the X Window system and syslog use these sockets even if your
12 machine is not connected to any network. Unless you are working on
13 an embedded system or something similar, you therefore definitely
14 want to say Y here.

16 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
17 called unix. Note that several important services won't work
18 correctly if you say M here and then neglect to load the module.

20 Say Y unless you know what you are doing.
