UnixSocketAddressType#
Added in version 2.26.
- class UnixSocketAddressType#
The type of name used by a UnixSocketAddress.
PATH indicates a traditional unix domain
socket bound to a filesystem path. ANONYMOUS
indicates a socket not bound to any name (eg, a client-side socket,
or a socket created with socketpair()).
For abstract sockets, there are two incompatible ways of naming
them; the man pages suggest using the entire struct sockaddr_un
as the name, padding the unused parts of the %sun_path field with
zeroes; this corresponds to ABSTRACT_PADDED.
However, many programs instead just use a portion of %sun_path, and
pass an appropriate smaller length to bind() or connect(). This is
ABSTRACT.
