SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/un.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <sys/un.h> header shall define the sockaddr_un structure that includes at least the following members:
sa_family_t sun_family Address family.
char sun_path[] Socket pathname.
The sockaddr_un structure is used to store addresses for UNIX domain sockets. Values of this type shall be cast by applications to struct sockaddr for use with socket functions.
The sa_family_t type shall be defined as described in <sys/socket.h> .
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
The size of sun_path has intentionally been left undefined. This is because different implementations use different sizes. For example, 4.3
BSD uses a size of 108, and 4.4 BSD uses a size of 104. Since most implementations originate from BSD versions, the size is typically in the range 92 to 108.
Applications should not assume a particular length for sun_path or assume that it can hold {_POSIX_PATH_MAX} characters (255).
socket API原本是为网络通讯设计的,但后来在socket的框架上发展出一种IPC机制,就是UNIX Domain Socket。虽然网络socket也可用于同一台主机的进程间通讯(通过loopback地址127.0.0.1),但是UNIX Domain Socket用于IPC更有效率:不需要经过网络协议栈,不需要打包拆包、计算校验和、维护序号和应答等,只是将应用层数据从一个进程拷贝到另一个进程。这是因为,IPC机制本质上是可靠的通讯,而网络协议是为不可靠的通讯设计的。UNIX Domain Socket也提供面向流和面向数据包两种API接口,类似于TCP和UDP,但是面向消息的UNIX Domain Socket也是可靠的,消息既不会丢失也不会顺序错乱。
UNIX Domain Socket是全双工的,API接口语义丰富,相比其它IPC机制有明显的优越性,目前已成为使用最广泛的IPC机制.
使用UNIX Domain Socket的过程和网络socket十分相似,也要先调用socket()创建一个socket文件描述符,address family指定为AF_UNIX,type可以选择SOCK_DGRAM或SOCK_STREAM,protocol参数仍然指定为0即可。
UNIX Domain Socket与网络socket编程最明显的不同在于地址格式不同,用结构体sockaddr_un表示,网络编程的socket地址是IP地址加端口号,而UNIX Domain Socket的地址是一个socket类型的文件在文件系统中的路径,这个socket文件由bind()调用创建,如果调用bind()时该文件已存在,则bind()错误返回。
例如:
$ ls -l /var/run/ total 52 srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 2008-10-30 00:24 acpid.socket
文件类型s表示socket,这些文件在磁盘上也没有数据块。
以下程序将UNIX Domain socket绑定到一个地址。
#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stddef.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <sys/un.h> int main(void) { int fd, size; struct sockaddr_un un; memset(&un, 0, sizeof(un)); un.sun_family = AF_UNIX; strcpy(un.sun_path, "/var/run/foo.socket"); if ((fd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0) { perror("socket error"); exit(1); } size = offsetof(struct sockaddr_un, sun_path) + strlen(un.sun_path); if (bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&un, size) < 0) { perror("bind error"); exit(1); } printf("UNIX domain socket bound\n"); exit(0); }
注意程序中的offsetof宏,它在stddef.h头文件中定义:
#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((int)&((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)
offsetof(struct sockaddr_un, sun_path)就是取sockaddr_un结构体的sun_path成员在结构体中的偏移,也就是从结构体的第几个字节开始是sun_path成员。想一想,这个宏是如何实现这一功能的?
该程序的运行结果如下。
$ ./a.out UNIX domain socket bound $ ls -l foo.socket srwxrwxr-x 1 user 0 Aug 22 12:43 foo.socket $ ./a.out bind error: Address already in use $ rm foo.socket $ ./a.out UNIX domain socket bound
(gdb) ptype un
type = struct sockaddr_un {
sa_family_t sun_family;
char sun_path[108];
}
(gdb) ptype sa_family_t
type = short unsigned int

上面的例子中,需要首先建立一个路径名为"/var/run/foo.socket"的目录,如果需要建立一个临时使用的套接字,而又不方便手动建立,可以使用Linux中的一个特殊方法,即格式化抽象本地地址。
格式化抽象本地地址的方式需要将路径名的第一个字符设置为空字符,即"\0"。例如,对于上面的例子,可以在
strcpy(un.sun_path, "/var/run/foo.socket");
之后插入如下的代码:
un.sun_path[0] = 0;
这样的话,多次运行也不会出现“Address already in use”的错误。
以下是服务器的listen模块,与网络socket编程类似,在bind之后要listen,表示通过bind的地址(也就是socket文件)提供服务。
#include <stddef.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/un.h>
#include <errno.h>
#define QLEN 10
/*
* Create a server endpoint of a connection.
* Returns fd if all OK, <0 on error.
*/
int serv_listen(const char *name)
{
int fd, len, err, rval;
struct sockaddr_un un;
/* create a UNIX domain stream socket */
if ((fd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0)
return(-1);
unlink(name); /* in case it already exists */
/* fill in socket address structure */
memset(&un, 0, sizeof(un));
un.sun_family = AF_UNIX;
strcpy(un.sun_path, name);
len = offsetof(struct sockaddr_un, sun_path) + strlen(name);
/* bind the name to the descriptor */
if (bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&un, len) < 0) {
rval = -2;
goto errout;
}
if (listen(fd, QLEN) < 0) { /* tell kernel we're a server */
rval = -3;
goto errout;
}
return(fd);
errout:
err = errno;
close(fd);
errno = err;
return(rval);
}
以下是服务器的accept模块,通过accept得到客户端地址也应该是一个socket文件,如果不是socket文件就返回错误码,如果是socket文件,在建立连接后这个文件就没有用了,调用unlink把它删掉,通过传出参数uidptr返回客户端程序的user id。
#include <stddef.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <sys/un.h> #include <errno.h> int serv_accept(int listenfd, uid_t *uidptr) { int clifd, len, err, rval; time_t staletime; struct sockaddr_un un; struct stat statbuf; len = sizeof(un); if ((clifd = accept(listenfd, (struct sockaddr *)&un, &len)) < 0) return(-1); /* often errno=EINTR, if signal caught */ /* obtain the client's uid from its calling address */ len -= offsetof(struct sockaddr_un, sun_path); /* len of pathname */ un.sun_path[len] = 0; /* null terminate */ if (stat(un.sun_path, &statbuf) < 0) { rval = -2; goto errout; } if (S_ISSOCK(statbuf.st_mode) == 0) { rval = -3; /* not a socket */ goto errout; } if (uidptr != NULL) *uidptr = statbuf.st_uid; /* return uid of caller */ unlink(un.sun_path); /* we're done with pathname now */ return(clifd); errout: err = errno; close(clifd); errno = err; return(rval); }
以下是客户端的connect模块,与网络socket编程不同的是,UNIX Domain Socket客户端一般要显式调用bind函数,而不依赖系统自动分配的地址。客户端bind一个自己指定的socket文件名的好处是,该文件名可以包含客户端的pid以便服务器区分不同的客户端。
#include <stdio.h> #include <stddef.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <sys/un.h> #include <errno.h> #define CLI_PATH "/var/tmp/" /* +5 for pid = 14 chars */ /* * Create a client endpoint and connect to a server. * Returns fd if all OK, <0 on error. */ int cli_conn(const char *name) { int fd, len, err, rval; struct sockaddr_un un; /* create a UNIX domain stream socket */ if ((fd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0) return(-1); /* fill socket address structure with our address */ memset(&un, 0, sizeof(un)); un.sun_family = AF_UNIX; sprintf(un.sun_path, "%s%05d", CLI_PATH, getpid()); len = offsetof(struct sockaddr_un, sun_path) + strlen(un.sun_path); unlink(un.sun_path); /* in case it already exists */ if (bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&un, len) < 0) { rval = -2; goto errout; } /* fill socket address structure with server's address */ memset(&un, 0, sizeof(un)); un.sun_family = AF_UNIX; strcpy(un.sun_path, name); len = offsetof(struct sockaddr_un, sun_path) + strlen(name); if (connect(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&un, len) < 0) { rval = -4; goto errout; } return(fd); errout: err = errno; close(fd); errno = err; return(rval); }
下面是自己动手时间,请利用以上模块编写完整的客户端/服务器通讯的程序。
