I think the intention was that the existing generic EADDRINUSE entry in ERRORS ("The specified address is already in use") covered most file-exists cases for AF_UNIX and only the symbolic link case needed special mention. A better solution would be to spell out how the two relate. I'd suggest changing:<blockquote>If the address family of the socket is AF_UNIX and the pathname in <i>address</i> names a symbolic link, <i>bind</i>() shall fail and set <i>errno</i> to [EADDRINUSE].</blockquote>to:<blockquote>If the address family of the socket is AF_UNIX and the pathname in <i>address</i> names an existing file, including a symbolic link, <i>bind</i>() shall treat the address as already in use; see ERRORS below.</blockquote> Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2022-09-13 15:34 steffen New Issue 2022-09-13 15:34 steffen Name => steffen 2022-09-13 15:34 steffen Section => bind 2022-09-13 15:34 steffen Page Number => 626 2022-09-13 15:34 steffen Line Number => 21642ff 2022-09-13 15:56 geoffclare Note Added: 0005967 ======================================================================
