AUTO DETECTION¶
The server will be auto located if no server name is given. First it will look
for the environment variable $ROAR_SERVER. If this variable is non existing
libmuroar will do the auto location based on a list of possible server
locations. This list contains the global UNIX socket address, the user's
private socket address and an entry for localhost using TCP/IP.
The UNIX socket addresses are only compiled in if UNIX socket support is
detected.
