7. sockunixaddr Class

Class sockunixaddr is derived from class sockAddr declared in <sockstream.h> and from struct sockaddr_un declared in <sys/un.h>. Always use sockunixaddr objects for addresses with unix domain of sockets. See section 2.4 Establishing connections.

In what follows,

• path is the unix path name like "/tmp/unix_socket"

sockunixaddr suna(path)

Constructs a sockunixaddr object suna with path as the unix path name.

void* a = suna

returns the address of the sockaddr_un part of sockunixaddr object suna as void*.

int sz = suna.size()

returns the sizeof sockaddr_un part of sockunixaddr object suna.

int af = suna.family()

returns sockunixbuf::af_unix if all is well.
