This is a synonym for @code{AF_LOCAL}, for compatibility.
(@code{PF_UNIX} is likewise a synonym for @code{PF_LOCAL}.)
This is a synonym for @code{AF_LOCAL}. Although @code{AF_LOCAL} is
mandated by POSIX.1g, @code{AF_UNIX} is portable to more systems.
@code{AF_UNIX} was the traditional name stemming from BSD, so even most
POSIX systems support it. It is also the name of choice in the Unix98
specification. (The same is true for @code{PF_UNIX}
vs. @code{PF_LOCAL}).
