Class UnixSocketAddress

java.lang.Object
All Implemented Interfaces:
Proxy, SocketConnectable

@Generated("io.github.jwharm.JavaGI") public class UnixSocketAddress extends SocketAddress implements SocketConnectable
Support for UNIX-domain (also known as local) sockets, corresponding to struct sockaddr_un.

UNIX domain sockets are generally visible in the filesystem. However, some systems support abstract socket names which are not visible in the filesystem and not affected by the filesystem permissions, visibility, etc. Currently this is only supported under Linux. If you attempt to use abstract sockets on other systems, function calls may return G_IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED errors. You can use abstractNamesSupported() to see if abstract names are supported.

Since GLib 2.72, GUnixSocketAddress is available on all platforms. It requires underlying system support (such as Windows 10 with AF_UNIX) at run time.

Before GLib 2.72, <gio/gunixsocketaddress.h> belonged to the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you had to use the gio-unix-2.0.pc pkg-config file when using it. This is no longer necessary since GLib 2.72.
