Anybody know what FS-specific (dump/restore) and non-FS-specific (tar,
cpio, pax, afio) archivers SHOULD do with sockets and named pipes? (Are
there any other kind of weird "files" besides those and block- &
character-special files and symbolic links?)

I found "afio" listing a socket in the archive table of content, but
it failed to restore it in its unarchived directory.

Are sockets and named pipes things that should/could/will be deleted
during shutdown and/or bootup or are they persistent?
