+    \enum QLocalServer::SocketOption
+
+    This enum describes the possible options that can be used to create the
+    socket. This changes the access permissions on platforms (Linux, Windows)
+    that support access permissions on the socket. Both GroupAccess and OtherAccess
+    may vary slightly in meanings depending on the platform.
+
+    \value UserAccess
+    Access is restricted to the same user as the process that created the socket.
+    \value GroupAccess
+    Access is restricted to the same group but not the user that created the socket on Linux.
+    \value OtherAccess
+    Access is available to everyone but the user and group that created the socket on Linux.
+    \value WorldAccess
+    No access restrictions.

 /*!
+    \property QLocalServer::socketOptions
+    \since 5.0
+
+    The setSocketOptions method controls how the socket operates.
+    For example the socket may restrict access to what user ids can
+    connect to the socket.
+
+    These options must be set before listen() is called.
+
+    In some cases, such as with Unix domain sockets on Linux, the
+    access to the socket will be determined by file system permissions,
+    and are created based on the umask. Setting the access flags will
+    overide this and will restrict or permit access as specified.
+
+    Other Unix-based operating systems, such as Mac OS X, do not
+    honor file permissions for Unix domain sockets and by default
+    have WorldAccess and these permission flags will have no effect.
+
+    By default none of the flags are set, access permissions
+    are the platform default.
