.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
Access the underlying UNIX\u\s-2TM\s+2\d domain socket from the initialized
\fBDNSServiceRef\fR returned from \fBDNS\fR Service calls. Applications should
only access the underlying UNIX domain socket to poll for results from the
\fBmDNS\fR daemon. Applications should not directly read or write to the
socket. When results are available, applications should call
\fBDNSServiceProcessResult()\fR. The application is responsible for processing
the data on the socket in a timely fashion. The daemon can terminate its
connection with a client that does not clear its socket buffer.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The underlying UNIX domain socket descriptor of the \fBDNSServiceRef\fR or
\fB-1\fR is returned in case of error.
