UnixSocketAddress
Support for UNIX-domain (also known as local) sockets.
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 g_unix_socket_address_abstract_names_supported() 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.

Functions
Creates a #GSocketAddressEnumerator for @connectable.
Gets @address's type.
Gets the socket family type of @address.
Tests if @address is abstract.
Gets the size of @address's native struct sockaddr. You can use this to allocate memory to pass to g_socket_address_to_native().
Gets the length of @address's path.
Creates a #GSocketAddressEnumerator for @connectable that will return a #GProxyAddress for each of its addresses that you must connect to via a proxy.
