A snippet I wrote recently:
static int connect_uri(const char *host, int port, int preferred_type)
{
int sock;
if (*host == '@' || *host == '/') {
/* unix socket */
struct sockaddr_un addr = {
.sun_family = AF_UNIX,
};
int socklen;
strcpy(addr.sun_path, host);
socklen = strlen(host) + offsetof(struct sockaddr_un, sun_path);
sock = socket(AF_UNIX, preferred_type, 0);
if (sock < 0)
mylog(LOG_ERR, "socket AF_UNIX ...: %s", ESTR(errno));
if (connect(sock, (void *)&addr, socklen) < 0)
mylog(LOG_ERR, "bind %s: %s", host, ESTR(errno));
return sock;
}
The remainder goes via ip sockets, which is not necessarily what you
want.
Is this what you were looking for?
