strace:

socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3

connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/saslauthd/mux"}, 110) = 0

writev(3, [{"\0\4root\0\4root\0\4imap\0\0", 20}], 1) = 20

read(3, "\0\2", 2) = 2

read(3, "OK", 2)

and it is successfully (whatever service is set [-s servicename] or without -s).

But how it makes libvirt? I can't trace it and i don't see it in source-code of remote.c/h

understandable?

I'm not sure I understand your question, can you explain?
