Re: Getting events on unix socket

I would like to receive events on unix socket in binary format. There is already another program that is reading events from unix socket in string format. I created another config file as below... active = yes direction = out path = builtin_af_unix type = builtin args = 0640 /var/run/satish_events format = binary In my test program I am reading events from the socket /var/run/satish_events Surprisingly I see events in string format as well as binary format. Is it by design or a bug?
