# `Portals.Transport.Unix`
[🔗](https://github.com/Ziinc/portals/blob/v0.1.0/lib/portals/transport/unix.ex#L1)

Default transport: one BEAM-created Unix-domain socket per worker.

The BEAM listens before the worker is launched (FR-1); the worker
connects once, using the socket path passed as a plain command-line
argument (never shell-interpolated). Delivers data as standard
`:gen_tcp` active-mode messages (`{:tcp, socket, data}`,
`{:tcp_closed, socket}`, `{:tcp_error, socket, reason}`) to whichever
process calls `accept/2`, so a GenServer can `handle_info/2` them
directly.
