sys_un.h(0P) POSIX Programmer's Manual sys_un.h(0P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
sys/un.h — definitions for UNIX domain sockets
#include <sys/un.h>
The <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.
The 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).
