UnixSocketAddress.this

Creates a new #GUnixSocketAddress of type @type with name @path.

If @type is %G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_PATH, this is equivalent to calling g_unix_socket_address_new().

If @type is %G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ANONYMOUS, @path and @path_len will be ignored.

If @path_type is %G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ABSTRACT, then @path_len bytes of @path will be copied to the socket's path, and only those bytes will be considered part of the name. (If @path_len is -1, then @path is assumed to be NUL-terminated.) For example, if @path was "test", then calling g_socket_address_get_native_size() on the returned socket would return 7 (2 bytes of overhead, 1 byte for the abstract-socket indicator byte, and 4 bytes for the name "test").

If @path_type is %G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ABSTRACT_PADDED, then @path_len bytes of @path will be copied to the socket's path, the rest of the path will be padded with 0 bytes, and the entire zero-padded buffer will be considered the name. (As above, if @path_len is -1, then @path is assumed to be NUL-terminated.) In this case, g_socket_address_get_native_size() will always return the full size of a struct sockaddr_un, although g_unix_socket_address_get_path_len() will still return just the length of @path.

%G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ABSTRACT is preferred over %G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ABSTRACT_PADDED for new programs. Of course, when connecting to a server created by another process, you must use the appropriate type corresponding to how that process created its listening socket.
