It's the inode. It'll match a socket that shows up in "netstat -a"
Only if it's a UNIX socket - there's no equiv. entry for TCP (or UDP) sockets. I still get 'socket:[nnnnnn]' for TCP comms., but I can't see what /that/ number refers to.
"netstat" only prints the inode for TCP sockets if you use -e. I should have advised you to use "netstat -ae", but I didn't notice that previously :)
