Struct sockaddr_storage

#[repr(C, align(8))]
pub struct sockaddr_storage {
    pub family: sa_family_t,
    pub data: [u8; 126],
}

Represents the upper limit for the size of any sockaddr value, across all address families.

This is a reasonable default type to use when retrieving a socket address from the kernel without knowledge of its address family. It is guaranteed at least as large as the largest address type the kernel can return. After the value is populated, use family to convert to a more specific address type.
