The socket map uses the following syntax to specify the remote
endpoint:
Xname {, field=value }*
where, name is the name of the filter and field=name pairs define
attributes to the filter.
Following are the different field types:
Socket Specifies the socket specification.
Flags Specifies special flags for a filter.
Timeouts Specifies timeouts for a filter.
Sendmail checks only the first character of the field name for the field
type. The field name is case sensitive.
