Curiously, getsockname() works for socket_create() and socket_create_pair() Unix-domain (AF_UNIX) sockets if one calls socket_bind() after creation to name the formerly anonymous socket(s).

Using a socket_bind() call also results in a file system "file" (socket, first character 's' in an "ls -l" listing) being created with the given name. Such a "file" will need to be removed explicitly, as closing the socket will not remove it.
