Xavier de Gaye added the comment: A unix abstract socket address is defined here: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/unix.7.html as:
"Traditionally, UNIX domain sockets can be either unnamed, or bound to a filesystem pathname (marked as being of type socket). Linux also supports an abstract namespace which is independent of the filesystem." and: "abstract: an abstract socket address is distinguished (from a pathname socket) by the fact that sun_path[0] is a null byte ('\0'). ..." It is also documented in the Python socket module documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html and tested in the TestLinuxAbstractNamespace test of Lib/test/test_socket.py. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26803> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
