Support for abstract unix domain socket

[lakpic]

Hello,
Can Node server listen to an abstract unix domain socket (e.g @socket-name which internally maps to first character being a null terminator). More info on abstract namespaces from linux man page I've seen it working with path name socket, but not sure about the abstract unix domain socket.

Short answer: no, not at the moment.

Longer answer: it's blocked on libuv support. I've opened an issue: libuv/libuv#4028

Hi @bnoordhuis, now that the libuv support seems to have landed, do you think that this is something we might be able to pick up in Node.js?

Yes. Node needs to switch to the new API. I don't plan on working on that anytime soon (rocks to climb) but you're welcome to take it up.
