This allows you to start it as a daemon and trigger it with the following endpoints. The API can listen on either a TCP address or a Unix socket/Windows named pipe. ### Socket vs TCP -By default, when `--enable-http` is used, Olm listens on a TCP address (configured via `--http-addr`, default `:9452`). Alternatively, Olm can listen on a Unix socket (Linux/macOS) or Windows named pipe for local-only communication with better security. +When `--enable-api` is used, Olm can listen on a TCP address when configured via `--http-addr` (like `:9452`). Alternatively, Olm can listen on a Unix socket (Linux/macOS) or Windows named pipe for local-only communication with better security when using `--socket-path` (like `/var/run/olm.sock`). **Unix Socket (Linux/macOS):** - Socket path example: `/var/run/olm/olm.sock`
