That session isn't created by the OS, but by screen itself, and the naming convention used for the socket is <pid of screen>.<tty where invoked>.<hostname>
You can see this information if you enter "screen -ls" after starting a screen session. If there are no sockets, there are no screen sessions you can re-attach to.

CEREAL(1) User Commands CEREAL(1)
NAME
cereal - client program to attach to cereal session
SYNOPSIS
cereal command [args]
DESCRIPTION
cereal is the client program to attach to a running cereal session.
SUBCOMMANDS
cereal takes various subcommands:
attach SESSION
Attach to (take control of) cereal session SESSION. This puts the user into a cereal console, provided by a command-restricted
screen session. To detach from an attached session, use "C- d". For help on other available commands, use "C- ?". Cereal uses a
limited instance of screen to provide the console. See screen(1) for more info on the available commands. `a' may be used in place
of `attach'.
follow [options] SESSION
Follow (watch, without being able to intervene) a cereal session SESSION. The options are: -c [--cat] to cat log instead of follow;
-p [--path] to output just the path to the log file and exit. `f' may be used in place of `follow'.
list [SESSION]...
List session(s). With no arguments, will list all sessions. The leading three characters in the list indicate: whether the session
is running (+) or not (-) or in some unknown state (?), whether the user can attach to the session (a) or not (-), whether the user
can follow the session (f) or not (-). If the session state is unknown (?), it's usually because the user asking for information
about the session can't read the session stat file. `l' may be used in place of `list'.
help Output a brief usage summary. `h' or `?' may be used in place of `help'.
EXIT STATUS
Exit status is 0 if OK, 1 if minor problems, 2 if serious trouble.

BUGS
If the invoking user does not have read and execute access to the cereal session's supervise directory, `cereal list' may not always indi-
cate that session's status accurately.
REPORTING BUGS
Report bugs to <cereal@fifthhorseman.net>.
