Struct linux_unsafe::sockaddr

#[repr(C)]
pub struct sockaddr {
    pub family: sa_family_t,
    /* private fields */
}

The type used for representing socket addresses in the raw system calls.

This is a type of unknown length, because the actual length of a socket address depends on the address family. When reading a socket address of an unknown address family, use a pointer to a sockaddr_storage as a placeholder type and then convert based on the returned family.

Warning: It is not meaningful to ask the compiler for the size of this type; it will return an arbitrary placeholder value. If you need sufficient storage for an arbitrary address, use sockaddr_storage instead.
