<sys/un.h>(P) POSIX Programmer's Manual <sys/un.h>(P)
NAME
sys/un.h - definitions for UNIX domain sockets
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/un.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <sys/un.h> header shall define the sockaddr_un structure that includes at least the following members:
sa_family_t sun_family Address family.
char sun_path[] Socket pathname.
The sockaddr_un structure is used to store addresses for UNIX domain sockets. Values of this type shall be cast by applications to struct
sockaddr for use with socket functions.
The sa_family_t type shall be defined as described in <sys/socket.h> .
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
The size of sun_path 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.
Applications should not assume a particular length for sun_path or assume that it can hold {_POSIX_PATH_MAX} characters (255).
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.

NAME
netinet/tcp.h - definitions for the Internet Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
SYNOPSIS
#include <netinet/tcp.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <netinet/tcp.h> header shall define the following macro for use as a socket option at the IPPROTO_TCP level:
TCP_NODELAY
Avoid coalescing of small segments.
The macro shall be defined in the header. The implementation need not allow the value of the option to be set via setsockopt() or retrieved
via getsockopt().
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
