Name

unpack_sockaddr_un

Synopsis

unpack_sockaddr_un (sockaddr_un)
sockaddr_un (sockaddr_un) 

Takes a Unix domain socket address structure (as returned by sockaddr_un) and returns the pathname.

The following constants are defined in the Socket module:

INADDR_ANY

The four-byte packed string for the wildcard IP address that specifies any of the host’s addresses (if the host has multiple addresses). This is equivalent to inet_aton('0.0.0.0').

INADDR_BROADCAST

The four-byte packed string for the broadcast address. This is equivalent to inet_aton('255.255.255.255').

INADDR_LOOPBACK

The four-byte packed string for the loopback address. This is equivalent to inet_aton('localhost').

INADDR_NONE

The four-byte packed string for the “invalid” IP address (bitmask). Equivalent to inet_aton('255.255.255.255').
