      JEP 380 added support for AF_UNIX in stream sockets through StandardProtocolFamily.UNIX in SocketChannel and ServerSocketChannel. It would be useful to extend this to the UDP equivalent ie. DatagramChannel.

      Alternatives could be a solution developed through the foreign function interface of JEP 434. However, there is an argument for supporting it directly in NIO for completeness and the fact that no API additions are required.
