I'm not 100% understanding exactly what you want to do. First, I think
you should use 'PF-INET' not 'AF_UNIX'.
In any case, the sequence of calls should be:
socket(2), bind(2), listen(2), accept(2), recv(2).
The connect(2) function is used on the sending side.
You can use the lsof(8) command to see if that socket is already in use.
