NAMEsys/un.h — definitions for UNIX domain sockets

SYNOPSIS#include <sys/un.h>

DESCRIPTIONThe <sys/un.h> header shall define the sockaddr_un structure, which shall include at least the following members: sa_family_t sun_family Address family. char sun_path[] Socket pathname.The sockaddr_un structure is used to store addresses for UNIX domain sockets. Pointers to this type shall be cast by applications to struct sockaddr * for use with socket functions. The <sys/un.h> header shall define the sa_family_t type as described in <sys/socket.h>. The following sections are informative.

APPLICATION USAGEThe size of sun_path 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. Applications should not assume a particular length for sun_path or assume that it can hold {_POSIX_PATH_MAX} bytes (256). Although applications are required to initialize all members (including any non-standard ones) of a sockaddr_in6 structure (see <netinet_in.h>), the same is not required for the sockaddr_un structure, since historically many applications only initialized the standard members. Despite this, applications are encouraged to initialize sockaddr_un structures in a manner similar to the required initialization of sockaddr_in6 structures.

RATIONALENone.

FUTURE DIRECTIONSNone.
