Thanks for the quick review!

I forgot to ask you: Is SOCK_DGRAM reliable and in-order over VMCI?

+.PP
+Valid socket types are
+.B SOCK_STREAM
+and
+.B SOCK_DGRAM .

The space here results in a space between SOCK_DGRAM and the “.” in the formatted text. Is that intentional?

I haven't figured out the groff syntax to avoid the space :(.  Any
ideas?

What you want is the .BR macro.

.BR SOCK_DGRAM .

The man macro package defines six "two-font" macros for switching
between roman, bold, and italic faces without intervening space.

See man(7) and groff_man(7).

Excellent, thank you!
