SYNOPSIS
#include <nng/nng.h>
enum sockaddr_family {
NNG_AF_IPC = 2,
};
typedef struct {
uint16_t sa_family;
uint16_t sa_path[128];
} nng_sockaddr_ipc;
DESCRIPTION
An nng_sockaddr_ipc
is the flavor of nng_sockaddr
used to represent addresses associated with IPC communication
using the ipc transport.
The following structure members are present:
sa_family
-
This field will always have the value
NNG_AF_IPC
. sa_path
-
This field holds the C string corresponding to path name where the IPC socket is located. For systems using UNIX domain sockets, this will be an absolute path name in the file system, where the UNIX domain socket is located. For Windows systems, this is the path name of the Named Pipe, without the leading
\\.pipe\
portion, which will be automatically added.
At this time, there is no support for Linux “abstract sockets”. |
In order to ensure maximum compatibility, applications should avoid
hard coding the size of the sa_path member explicitly, but use the
sizeof operator to determine its actual size at compile time.
Furthermore, the size is guaranteed to be at least 128, but paths of
this length may not be supported on all systems.
|
If compatibility with legacy nanomsg applications is required,
then pathnames must not be longer than 122 bytes, including the final
NUL byte.
This is because legacy versions of nanomsg cannot express URLs
longer than 128 bytes, including the ipc:// prefix.
