/**
 * \class IPCUnixSocket
 * \brief IPC mechanism based on Unix sockets
 *
 * The Unix socket IPC allows bidirectional communication between two processes
 * through unnamed Unix sockets. It implements datagram-based communication,
 * transporting entire payloads with guaranteed ordering.
 *
 * The IPC design is asynchronous, a message is queued to a receiver which gets
 * notified that a message is ready to be consumed by the \ref readyRead
 * signal. The sender of the message gets no notification when a message is
 * delivered nor processed. If such interactions are needed a protocol specific
 * to the users use-case should be implemented on top of the IPC objects.
 *
 * Establishment of an IPC channel is asymmetrical. The side that initiates
 * communication first instantiates a local side socket and creates the channel
 * with create(). The method returns a file descriptor for the remote side of
 * the channel, which is passed to the remote process through an out-of-band
 * communication method. The remote side then instantiates a socket, and binds
 * it to the other side by passing the file descriptor to bind(). At that point
 * the channel is operation and communication is bidirectional and symmmetrical.
 *
 * \context This class is \threadbound.
