§UAU

Unix(Unix Domain Socket) Abstract Udp

An abstract socket address is distinguished (from a pathname socket) by the fact that sun_path[0] is a null byte (‘\0’). The socket’s address in this namespace is given by the additional bytes in sun_path that are covered by the specified length of the address structure. Null bytes in the name have no special significance. The name has no connection with filesystem pathnames. When the address of an abstract socket is returned, the returned addrlen is greater than sizeof(sa_family_t) (i.e., greater than 2), and the name of the socket is contained in the first (addrlen - sizeof(sa_family_t)) bytes of sun_path.
