+The [`AF_UNIX`][unix-socket] used by [`--console-socket`](#create) handles request and response messages between a runtime and server.
 The socket type MUST be [`SOCK_SEQPACKET`][socket-types] or [`SOCK_STREAM`][socket-types].

 The [normal data][socket-queue] ([`msghdr.msg_iov*`][socket.h]) of all messages MUST be [UTF-8][] [JSON](glossary.md#json).
