Yes, these too are for communication between processes. Only you don't
use the network stack. This is a special feature of Unix-like operating
systems.

DGRAM, unlike STREAM, does not know connection states. Therefore STREAM
is comparable to a local TCP connection. Unix domain sockets exist in
the file tree as special files. Access is controlled by file
permissions, as is usual for files.
