- Socket::Address
- Struct
- Value
- Object

##
Overview

UNIX address representation.

Holds the local path of an UNIX address, usually coming from an opened connection (e.g. `Socket#local_address`, `Socket#receive`).

Example:

    require "socket"

    Socket::UNIXAddress.new("/tmp/my.sock")

##
Defined in:

socket/address.cr

##
Constructors

- .from(sockaddr : Pointer(LibC::Sockaddr), addrlen) : UNIXAddress

  Creates an `UNIXSocket` from the internal OS representation.

- .from(sockaddr : Pointer(LibC::Sockaddr)) : UNIXAddress

  Creates an `UNIXSocket` from the internal OS representation.

- .new(path : Path | String)
- .parse(uri : URI) : UNIXAddress

  Parses a `Socket::UNIXAddress` from an URI.

- .parse(uri : String) : self

  Parses a `Socket::UNIXAddress` from an URI.

##
Constructor Detail

def self.from(sockaddr : Pointer(LibC::Sockaddr), addrlen) : UNIXAddress #

Creates an `UNIXSocket` from the internal OS representation.

def self.from(sockaddr : Pointer(LibC::Sockaddr)) : UNIXAddress #

Creates an `UNIXSocket` from the internal OS representation.

def self.new(path : Path | String) #
def self.parse(uri : URI) : UNIXAddress #

Parses a `Socket::UNIXAddress` from an URI.

It expects the URI to include `<scheme>://<path>` where `scheme` as well as any additional URI components (such as `fragment` or `query`) are ignored.

If `host` is not empty, it will be prepended to `#path` to form a relative path.

    require "socket"

    Socket::UNIXAddress.parse("unix:///foo.sock") # => Socket::UNIXAddress.new("/foo.sock")
    Socket::UNIXAddress.parse("unix://foo.sock")  # => Socket::UNIXAddress.new("foo.sock")

def self.parse(uri : String) : self #

Parses a `Socket::UNIXAddress` from an URI.

It expects the URI to include `<scheme>://<path>` where `scheme` as well as any additional URI components (such as `fragment` or `query`) are ignored.

If `host` is not empty, it will be prepended to `#path` to form a relative path.

    require "socket"

    Socket::UNIXAddress.parse("unix:///foo.sock") # => Socket::UNIXAddress.new("/foo.sock")
    Socket::UNIXAddress.parse("unix://foo.sock")  # => Socket::UNIXAddress.new("foo.sock")
