I'm contemplating writing a program which would send sensitive
information between processes via UNIX doamin sockets. Does NetBSD make
any guarantees that the stale contents of the communication buffer for a
domain socket will not later appear in another process's uninitialized
address space after the socket has been closed? Does it make any
guarantees that an active buffer will not swapped to disk? (I know about
mlock() but I don't think I can use it on a buffer). Are any such
guarantees portable to other UNIX derivatives?
