// ipc transport.  This is used for inter-process communication on
// the same host computer.

// Security Descriptor.  This option may only be set on listeners
// on the Windows platform, where the object is a pointer to a
// a Windows SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR.
#define NNG_OPT_IPC_SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR "ipc:security-descriptor"

// Permissions bits.  This option is only valid for listeners on
// POSIX platforms and others that honor UNIX style permission bits.
// Note that some platforms may not honor the permissions here, although
// at least Linux and macOS seem to do so.  Check before you rely on
// this for security.

#define NNG_OPT_IPC_PEER_GID "ipc:peer-gid"

// Peer process ID.  Available on Windows, Linux, and SunOS.
// In theory we could obtain this with the first message sent,
// but we have elected not to do this for now. (Nice RFE for a FreeBSD
// guru though.)

// Peer Zone ID.  Only on SunOS systems.  (Linux containers have no
// definable kernel identity; they are a user-land fabrication made up
// from various pieces of different namespaces. FreeBSD does have
// something called JailIDs, but it isn't obvious how to determine this,
// or even if processes can use IPC across jail boundaries.)
