I've never seen the UDS acronym to refer to UNIX sockets.

Just call them UNIX sockets.



They're called UNIX domain sockets.

Just call them UDS.


On the most popular UNIX-like operating system, Linux, there's are literally zero references to UDS to mean UNIX domain sockets.

  $ sudo mandb
  $ man -K UDS
The point is that acronyms that are not context appropriate and/or very uncommon are quite annoying to come across. I guess it was worth saving a dozen bytes not to write the full thing in the first place.
