sys/un.h \- definitions for UNIX domain sockets

.SH SYNOPSIS

.LP

\fB#include <sys/un.h>\fP
|
||
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
The \fI<sys/un.h>\fP header shall define the \fBsockaddr_un\fP structure
|
||
|
that includes at least the following
|
||
|
members:
|
||
|
.sp
|
||
|
.RS
|
||
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
||
|
\fBsa_family_t sun_family \fP Address family. \fB
|
||
|
char sun_path[] \fP Socket pathname. \fB
|
||
|
\fP
|
||
|
.fi
|
||
|
.RE
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
The \fBsockaddr_un\fP structure is used to store addresses for UNIX
|
||
|
domain sockets. Values of this type shall be cast by
|
||
|
applications to \fBstruct sockaddr\fP for use with socket functions.
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
The \fBsa_family_t\fP type shall be defined as described in \fI<sys/socket.h>\fP
|
||
|
\&.
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
|
||
|
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
The size of \fIsun_path\fP has intentionally been left undefined.
|
||
|
This is because different implementations use different
|
||
|
sizes. For example, 4.3 BSD uses a size of 108, and 4.4 BSD uses a
|
||
|
size of 104. Since most implementations originate from BSD
|
||
|
versions, the size is typically in the range 92 to 108.
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
Applications should not assume a particular length for \fIsun_path\fP
|
||
|
or assume that it can hold {_POSIX_PATH_MAX} characters
|
||
|
(255).
