What is the IPC pathname in the RVD HTTP interface?  Is it possible to change this IPC path?

========
IPC is a new feature since RV 8.3.0. POSIX local IPC sockets, also known as UNIX domain sockets, are an alternative to the TCP/IP sockets that Rendezvous normally uses for communication between client and daemon. When available, IPC sockets yield faster performance than TCP/IP sockets. All other Rendezvous behavior is transparent to this choice of socket protocol. IPC sockets are available only on UNIX platforms that support AF_UNIX or AF_LOCAL socket types.

On UNIX platforms where IPC is available, they are the default behavior of Rendezvous (release 8.3 and later). That is, Rendezvous automatically uses IPC sockets for communication between client and daemon processes on the same host computer. To override (or force) this default behavior, you can explicitly configure either the daemon or the client.

By default, the IPC pathname is set to /tmp/tibco/ipc.<port>.  Since it is the IPC socket (UNIX domain socket) file, customers can use the TIBRV_IPC_DIR environment variable to set the location.
