enhancement question

i run install bat on windows 11 and did installation successfully however wh…en i run `fw-fanctrl --reload` command in cmd i get error ``` File "C:\Windows\System32\fanctrl.py", line 329, in <module> main() File "C:\Windows\System32\fanctrl.py", line 308, in main client_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: module 'socket' has no attribute 'AF_UNIX' ``` i updated fanctrl.py end to something like this ```py SOCKETS_FOLDER_PATH = "/run/fw-fanctrl" COMMANDS_SOCKET_FILE_PATH = ( '127.0.0.1', 12345) # Example IP address and port number client_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) try: client_socket.connect(COMMANDS_SOCKET_FILE_PATH) client_socket.sendall(' '.join(sys.argv[1:]).encode()) received_data = b"" while True: data_chunk = client_socket.recv(1024) if not data_chunk: break received_data += data_chunk # Receive data from the server data = received_data.decode() print(data) if data.startswith("Error:"): exit(1) finally: if client_socket: client_socket.close() ``` so what should be `COMMANDS_SOCKET_FILE_PATH ` for windows ??
