pub struct SocketAddr { /* private fields */ }
Available on Unix only.
Expand description

An address associated with a Unix socket.

Examples

use std::os::unix::net::UnixListener;

let socket = match UnixListener::bind("/tmp/sock") {
    Ok(sock) => sock,
    Err(e) => {
        println!("Couldn't bind: {e:?}");
        return
    }
};
let addr = socket.local_addr().expect("Couldn't get local address");

Implementations

Constructs a SockAddr with the family AF_UNIX and the provided path.

Errors

Returns an error if the path is longer than SUN_LEN or if it contains NULL bytes.

Examples
use std::os::unix::net::SocketAddr;
use std::path::Path;

let address = SocketAddr::from_pathname("/path/to/socket")?;
assert_eq!(address.as_pathname(), Some(Path::new("/path/to/socket")));

Creating a SocketAddr with a NULL byte results in an error.

use std::os::unix::net::SocketAddr;

assert!(SocketAddr::from_pathname("/path/with/\0/bytes").is_err());

Returns true if the address is unnamed.

Examples

A named address:

use std::os::unix::net::UnixListener;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let socket = UnixListener::bind("/tmp/sock")?;
    let addr = socket.local_addr().expect("Couldn't get local address");
    assert_eq!(addr.is_unnamed(), false);
    Ok(())
}

An unnamed address:

use std::os::unix::net::UnixDatagram;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let socket = UnixDatagram::unbound()?;
    let addr = socket.local_addr().expect("Couldn't get local address");
    assert_eq!(addr.is_unnamed(), true);
    Ok(())
}

Returns the contents of this address if it is a pathname address.

Examples

With a pathname:

use std::os::unix::net::UnixListener;
use std::path::Path;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let socket = UnixListener::bind("/tmp/sock")?;
    let addr = socket.local_addr().expect("Couldn't get local address");
    assert_eq!(addr.as_pathname(), Some(Path::new("/tmp/sock")));
    Ok(())
}

Without a pathname:

use std::os::unix::net::UnixDatagram;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let socket = UnixDatagram::unbound()?;
    let addr = socket.local_addr().expect("Couldn't get local address");
    assert_eq!(addr.as_pathname(), None);
    Ok(())
}
🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_abstract)
Available on Android or Linux only.

Returns the contents of this address if it is an abstract namespace without the leading null byte.

Examples
#![feature(unix_socket_abstract)]
use std::os::unix::net::{UnixListener, SocketAddr};

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let namespace = b"hidden";
    let namespace_addr = SocketAddr::from_abstract_namespace(&namespace[..])?;
    let socket = UnixListener::bind_addr(&namespace_addr)?;
    let local_addr = socket.local_addr().expect("Couldn't get local address");
    assert_eq!(local_addr.as_abstract_namespace(), Some(&namespace[..]));
    Ok(())
}

Creates an abstract domain socket address from a namespace

An abstract address does not create a file unlike traditional path-based Unix sockets. The advantage of this is that the address will disappear when the socket bound to it is closed, so no filesystem clean up is required.

The leading null byte for the abstract namespace is automatically added.

This is a Linux-specific extension. See more at unix(7).

Errors

This will return an error if the given namespace is too long

Examples
#![feature(unix_socket_abstract)]
use std::os::unix::net::{UnixListener, SocketAddr};

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let addr = SocketAddr::from_abstract_namespace(b"hidden")?;
    let listener = match UnixListener::bind_addr(&addr) {
        Ok(sock) => sock,
        Err(err) => {
            println!("Couldn't bind: {err:?}");
            return Err(err);
        }
    };
    Ok(())
}
