local socket object?

[Gene_Gaunt/ReviewWorks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

IBM's IFS Introduction manual says,

"If your application is using the "root" (/) file system, you can take
advantage of the IFS local socket support.  A local socket object (object
type *SOCKET) allows two jobs running on the same system to establish a
communications connection with each other.  One of the jobs establishes a
connection point by using the bind() C language function to create a local
socket object.  The other job specifies the name of the local socket object
on the connect(), sendto(), or sendmsg() function.  The local socket object
remains in the system until it is removed using the unlink() function or
the Remove Link command."

I don't see where bind(), connect() etc. receive object names instead of
port numbers.  When I execute a bind(), there are no journal entry type
'CO' (create object) that go into QAUDJRN.   Where and when are the sockets
created I wonder?  Using the MATAUOBJ instruction, I found some *SOCKET
objects owned by QSYS profile but with creation time of our last IPL.  Can
someone explain the IFS Introduction quote?
