Take the 2-minute tour ×  Looking at the opened UNIX sockets
using lsof -U command shows:   haproxy    1205   haproxy    7u
unix 0xc21aac00      0t0  62286604
/var/lib/haproxy/stats.1204.tmp  I want to know what is this
stats.1204.tmp refers to ? There is no file with this name in
this location. Except there is a file named stats.  srwxr-xr-x 1
root root 0 Oct 17 09:10 stats  And checking the file type using
file command show:  $ file stats stats: socket  Can someone
explain me how this works?  share|improve this question That "s"
is not the setuid bit, it's telling you that it's a socket. –
