it says "unix" all over the place, but that's an internal implementation 
detail. "mp_socket" or similar should do, no?

While it's equivalent, the intent behind this isn't clear, it's 
needlessly complicating the more common idiom of

for (i = 0; i < MAX; i++) {}
if (i == MAX)
    return error;
do_something;
return success;

Same as above - maybe rewrite it as a more commonly used idiom. Also, 
you probably want to use strncmp(), and check for NULL pointers, IIRC 
strncmp(NULL) is undefined behavior.

Nitpicking, but maybe just send PID instead of the whole path? 
Primary/secondary share their prefix and most of their socket path 
anyway, so the real difference is the PID. This would also eliminate the 
need for using strings in many places.
