-Most notably, UNIX domain sockets simply ignore invalid values;

+This implementation is POSIX compliant since version 3.7-rc1. Previously, UNIX
+domain and DECnet sockets simply ignored invalid values of
+.IR how ,
+due to a domain-specific code. Applications that used invalid values to
+circumvent this lack should be corrected.
