Getting events on unix socket

[Satish Chandra Kilaru]

I would like to receive events on unix socket in binary format.
There is already another program that is reading events from unix socket in
string format.
I created another config file as below...

active = yes
direction = out
path = builtin_af_unix
type = builtin
args = 0640 /var/run/satish_events
format = binary

In my test program I am reading events from the socket
/var/run/satish_events
Surprisingly I see events in string format as well as binary format.

Is it by design or a bug?
