<sys/un.h>(P)              POSIX Programmer's Manual             <sys/un.h>(P)



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

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/un.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The  <sys/un.h>  header  shall  define  the  sockaddr_un structure that
       includes 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.  Values  of  this type shall be cast by applications to struct
       sockaddr for use with socket functions.

       The sa_family_t type shall be defined as described in <sys/socket.h>  .

       The following sections are informative.

APPLICATION USAGE
       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} characters (255).

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
