pub type GUnixSocketAddressType = c_uint;Expand description
GUnixSocketAddressType: @G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_INVALID: invalid @G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ANONYMOUS: anonymous @G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_PATH: a filesystem path @G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ABSTRACT: an abstract name @G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ABSTRACT_PADDED: an abstract name, 0-padded to the full length of a unix socket name
The type of name used by a #GUnixSocketAddress. %G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_PATH indicates a traditional unix domain socket bound to a filesystem path. %G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_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 %G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_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
%G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ABSTRACT.
