            Bug ID: 245817
           Summary: sendto() can return ENOTCONN on SOCK_STREAM unix
                    socket, which is not documented

Minimal test program

send(2) manpage currently states "The send() function may be used only when=
 the
 socket is in a connected state, while sendto(), sendmsg() and sendmmsg() m=
ay
be used at any time."

This seems inaccurate. Doing a sendto() on an unconnected SOCK_STREAM unix
socket results in an ENOTCONN error. ENOTCONN is not a documented possible
error from sendto.

Small c testcase showing the behaviour attached.
