The "4.2 IPC Primer" is long out of date.  The correct syntax for
binding a name to a socket in the Unix domain is as follows:

struct sockaddr socketname = { AF_UNIX, { "/dev/foo" } };

bind(s, &socketname, sizeof( socketname ));

where struct sockaddr is declared as follows:

struct sockaddr {
	u_short	sa_family;		/* address family */
	char	sa_data[14];		/* up to 14 bytes of direct address */
};
