# NIP-55 - Unix Domain Socket Communication ## Defining the file path for UDS NIP-55 defines a standard way to communicate via Unix Domain Sockets (UDS). UDS needs a file path as a qualifier so that both client and server can agree on a place to exchange information. The file path will be chosen as `/tmp/nip55` ## Communication There are potentially many ways to communicate over this socket, one way would be the JSON-RPC collection found in NIP-46.
