I assume you mean PQunixsocket.  As part of the database connection, if
pghost begins with a slash, the value is assigned to pgunixsocket and
pghost is cleared.  Here is the code:
   /* ----------    * Allow unix socket specification in the host name    * ----------    */   if (conn->pghost &&
conn->pghost[0]== '/')    {       if (conn->pgunixsocket)           free(conn->pgunixsocket);       conn->pgunixsocket
=conn->pghost;         conn->pghost = NULL;   }
 

Am I handling this properly?  I hate to be dragging around the unix
socket directory name in pghost for too long and hate to be propogating
the slash test throughout the code.
