I'm new to this whole "credentials over Unix sockets" thing, so please bear with me.

Is this issue supposed to address the SO_PEERCRED mechanism (in Linux, corresponding to LOCAL_PEERCRED in FreeBSD), the SCM_CREDENTIALS mechanism (Linux only?) or both?

The linked PR #16 seems to only address the SCM_CREDENTIALS mechanism, which seems more cumbersome for simple use cases.
