Hi
Currently amending my bash profiles, there is a command that makes my session jump into another location.

NAME
unix -- UNIX-domain protocol family
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/un.h>
DESCRIPTION
The UNIX-domain protocol family is a collection of protocols that provides local (on-machine) interprocess communication through the normal
socket(2) mechanisms. The UNIX-domain family supports the SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM socket types and uses filesystem pathnames for address-
ing.
ADDRESSING
UNIX-domain addresses are variable-length filesystem pathnames of at most 104 characters. The include file <sys/un.h> defines this address:
struct sockaddr_un {
u_char sun_len;
u_char sun_family;
char sun_path[104];
};
Binding a name to a UNIX-domain socket with bind(2) causes a socket file to be created in the filesystem. This file is not removed when the
socket is closed--unlink(2) must be used to remove the file.
The UNIX-domain protocol family does not support broadcast addressing or any form of ``wildcard'' matching on incoming messages. All
addresses are absolute- or relative-pathnames of other UNIX-domain sockets. Normal filesystem access-control mechanisms are also applied
when referencing pathnames; e.g., the destination of a connect(2) or sendto(2) must be writable.
PROTOCOLS
The UNIX-domain protocol family is comprised of simple transport protocols that support the SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM abstractions.
SOCK_STREAM sockets also support the communication of UNIX file descriptors through the use of the msg_control field in the msg argument to
sendmsg(2) and recvmsg(2).
Any valid descriptor may be sent in a message. The file descriptor(s) to be passed are described using a struct cmsghdr that is defined in
the include file <sys/socket.h>. The type of the message is SCM_RIGHTS, and the data portion of the messages is an array of integers repre-
senting the file descriptors to be passed. The number of descriptors being passed is defined by the length field of the message; the length
field is the sum of the size of the header plus the size of the array of file descriptors.
The received descriptor is a duplicate of the sender's descriptor, as if it were created with a call to dup(2). Per-process descriptor
flags, set with fcntl(2), are not passed to a receiver. Descriptors that are awaiting delivery, or that are purposely not received, are
automatically closed by the system when the destination socket is closed.
