UnixAddress

Encapsulates an address for a Unix domain socket (AF_UNIX), i.e. a socket bound to a path name in the file system. Available only on supported systems.

Linux also supports an abstract address namespace, in which addresses are independent of the file system. A socket address is abstract iff path starts with a _null byte ('\0'). Null bytes in other positions of an abstract address are allowed and have no special meaning.

Constructors

this
this(const(char)[] path)

Construct a new UnixAddress from the specified path.

this
this(sockaddr_un addr)

Construct a new UnixAddress.
