Thanks for the feedback. Here is what I understood, please correct me if
I am wrong. First, I should add another field to the
landlock_ruleset_attr (a field like handled_access_net, but for the unix
sockets) with a flag LANDLOCK_ACCESS_UNIX_CONNECT (it is a flag like
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_CONNECT_TCP but fot the unix sockets connect).
