<h4><a name="tag_13_69_01"></a>NAME</h4>
<blockquote>sys/un.h - definitions for UNIX domain sockets</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_13_69_02"></a>SYNOPSIS</h4>
<blockquote class="synopsis">
<p><tt>#include &lt;sys/un.h&gt;</tt></p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_13_69_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>&lt;sys/un.h&gt;</i> header shall define the <b>sockaddr_un</b> structure that includes at least the following
members:</p>
<pre>
<tt>sa_family_t sun_family </tt> Address family. <tt>
char sun_path[] </tt> Socket pathname. <tt>
</tt>
</pre>
<p>The <b>sockaddr_un</b> structure is used to store addresses for UNIX domain sockets. Values of this type shall be cast by
applications to <b>struct sockaddr</b> for use with socket functions.</p>
<p>The <b>sa_family_t</b> type shall be defined as described in <a href=
"../sys/socket.h.html#tag_13_61"><i>&lt;sys/socket.h&gt;</i></a> .</p>
</blockquote>

<h4><a name="tag_13_69_04"></a>APPLICATION USAGE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The size of <i>sun_path</i> has intentionally been left undefined. This is because different implementations use different
sizes. For example, 4.3 BSD uses a size of 108, and 4.4 BSD uses a size of 104. Since most implementations originate from BSD
versions, the size is typically in the range 92 to 108.</p>
<p>Applications should not assume a particular length for <i>sun_path</i> or assume that it can hold {_POSIX_PATH_MAX} characters
(255).</p>
</blockquote>
