 > Create a UNIX domain socket named /dev/socket/_name_ and pass its fd to the

-  may end with "+passcred" to enable SO_PASSCRED on the socket. User and

   socket.  It defaults to the service security context, as specified by
   seclabel or computed based on the service executable file security context.
