This is more or less off the top of my head. May include typos.

int create_and_bind_unix_socket(const char *path)
{
        struct sockaddr_un serv_addr;
        int s=socket(AF_UNIX,SOCK_STREAM,0);
        if(s==-1)
                {
                perror("socket");
                return -1;
                }

        serv_addr.sun_family=AF_UNIX;

        strcpy(serv_addr.sun_path,path.c_str());

    if(bind(s,(struct sockaddr *)&serv_addr,sizeof(serv_addr))<0)
        {
                perror("bind");
                close(s);
                return -1;
        }
        listen(s,20);
        return s;
}
